Hi

I would like to run a bot on my OpenWrt-device where I do not have a full perl-installation (there is no working working CPAN-client).
I have copied over all pure-perl modules I need but for the xs-modules I had hoped that I could make do with what I can get via package-manager.

Alas there is one vital ingredient missing, and that is Net::SSLeay that is not available (as an aside - ssl modules for python are packaged...).
So I installed gcc and tried to compile it on the box, but it fails like this: 

$ make
Running Mkbootstrap for Net::SSLeay ()
chmod 644 SSLeay.bs
mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc -c   -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -Os -pip

 #include "EXTERN.h"
                    ^

make: *** [SSLeay.o] Error 1

Any ideas on how to proceed?

My system is an OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05, the perl is a 5.20.2.

Many thanks!
