Hello, I usually play with perl on linux, but for once I'm tasked to add a module on a Win2008 Server. Of course, I can't have any compilation tool on this server.
The goal is to add Net::SFTP.
Reading the doc, I found I should use ppm : I've added a repo (www.sisyphusion.tk).
It turns out I can't sync it 
ppm>  repo sync --force 2
Downloading www.sisyphusion.tk packlist...redirect
ppm> repo list
id    pkgs    name
1    11416    ActiveState Package Repository
2    0        www.sisyphusion.tk

[download]
I've tried to specifiy the module directly, but got an error : 
ppm> install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Net-SFTP-Foreign-Backend-Ne
+t_SSH2.ppd  --force
ppm install failed: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (Cryp
+t::SSLeay not installed)

[download]
So, OK, you need Crypt::SSLeay to be able to do https : why not, let's do this : 
ppm> install Crypt::SSLeay
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not modified
Downloading Crypt-SSLeay-0.57...redirect
Downloading Crypt-SSLeay-0.57...redirect
ppm install failed: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (Cryp
+t::SSLeay not installed)

[download]
Wait... What !! I need Crypt::SSLeay to install Crypt::SSLeay ?? What am I missing here ? More info : 
C:\Users\bla>perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 18 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

C:\Users\bla>ppm-shell -v
ppm 4.01
