Hi, I'm trying to install Net::SSLeay on my activestate perl(v5.8.3, binary builtd 809). I'm using the current ppm from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/. The installation went all fine, but when running "use Net::SSLeay;" I got an error poping up: "Perl.exe - Entry Point Not Found: the procedure entry point PL_memory_wrap could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll". I tried uninstalling/installing it again, the same problem persists.

What I really want is to use POP3 via SSL. I'm using Mail::POP3Client, which uses IO::Socket::SSL (which relies on Net::SSLeay). Is there another way to do POP3 via SSL?

What's the difference between this and Crypt::SSLeay? which works fine for me (e.g., when using https via WWW::Mechanize.) Thanks.
