Perl Sages, I've spent many hours trying to get Crypt::SSLeay to work with ActiveState Perl 10.x running on Windblows 2003. Here is the test code: 
$ cat testSSL.pl
# https-test.pl - HTTPS GET example
#
# c Copyright, 2004-2005 By John Bokma, http://johnbokma.com/

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);


use LWP::UserAgent;

my $url = 'https://www.helsinki.fi/';

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $ua->get( $url );

$response->is_success or
    die "Failed to GET '$url': ", $response->status_line;

print $response->as_string;

Here is the result:

$ perl testSSL.pl
LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET https://www.helsinki.fi/
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Not Implemented
Failed to GET 'https://www.helsinki.fi/': 501 Protocol scheme 'https' 
+is not sup
ported (Crypt::SSLeay not installed) at testSSL.pl line 19.

I've tried looking at everything including file permissions, path variables, etc. I've thought about dropping down to Perl 8.8.x just to see what happens, but... It would be great to get some work done so any help would be appreciated. And yes Ive looked at the responses here as well.
