1. I'm getting very confusing information from this WinXP box as to whether Crypt-SSLeay has been installed or not. On the one hand .... 

C:\Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 7CBF-35A0
 
 Directory of C:\Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay
 
11/21/2006  12:32 PM    <DIR>          .

... and 

C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Crypt\SSLeay>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.

... but, on the other hand ... 

C:\Documents and Settings>ppm verify Crypt::SSLeay
ppm verify failed: Package 'Crypt::SSLeay' is not installed

[download]

Is it or isn't it? Only SSLeay's hairdresser knows for sure. I'm now waiting for a sysadmin to come by so we can try a re-install of the ppm.

2. Unfortunately the Crypt-SSLeay docs have not been updated in three years. The Windows-specific suggestions there are out-of-date, e.g., ActiveState is hundreds of builds past the ones mentioned in the docs. But because in my testing I'm trying to replicate the conditions in which "average Win32 Perl users" work, I have to get this application working on ActivePerl.

Thanks for taking the time to explore this problem.
