I'm trying to get OpenSSL to work on my account. It is hosted on a shared webserver running Solaris 7 and Apache 1.3.3 and I do not have root access.

I unpacked Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA-0.12.tar.gz and I keep getting errors when running Make. Here's what I've tried when running the Makefile.PL:

perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site INSTALLSITELIB=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL

perl Makefile.PL LIB=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL PREFIX=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL

Here's a copy of what came up in SSH: 

venus:/modules/OpenSSL > perl Makefile.PL LIB=/home/USERID/modules/Ope
+nSSL PREFIX=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL
Warning: prerequisite Crypt::OpenSSL::Random 0 not found at (eval 1) l
+ine 226.

Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can get OpenSSL installed? I've installed several other modules on my account so I know it is possible.

Best Regards,

Jeff
