Here is some background on my problem. OS: XP Perl: strawberry perl 5.8.8. I do not have admin access to my windows machine so I am unable to install openssl for Crypt::SSLeay in the proper fashion such that the dll files are copied to the system directory. I cannot change the system variables such as path on windows.


I am however able to place the dll files and source in a folder such as C:\openssl. I make sure to have the proper include directory set as stated in http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=692574


I am manually installing Crypt::SSLeay from the commandline using perl Makefile.PL and dmake test. I set it to perform the live test as one of the options Makefile.PL asks if you want to do.


The SSLeay.dll is created without any problems. However upon testing I get
This application has failed to start because libeay32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem


I have tried going into the blib directory and adding a BEGIN { use DynaLoader; push @DynaLoader::dl_library_path,'C:\\openssl'; }
to SSLeay.pm Like in an example I found in node
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=603522

I am stuck with no other ideas, does anyone have any thoughts on how I could get this to work?


Best Regards

Update:
Thank you all for your input. syphilis the set command did the trick
However, I am running into a different problem with the which compiler created the binaries of openssl that I am using, but that is not a perlmonks issue. But all is well on the build end of it.
