Sorry if I've missed it, but it's not apparent to me whether you're using an x64 (64 bit) or x86 (32 bit) build of perl - what does perl-V:archname produce ?

If you're using the x86 build then you should be able to ppm install Net::SSLeay. (For the x64 builds there may well be *no* ppm package for that version of perl - I haven't checked.)

UPDATE:
it fails with the "Bad file descriptor"/"vendor undefined macro" error

I don't know (definitively) why that error would be occurring, but it could conceivably be because the compiler uses a different CRT to that used by perl. The remedy then depends upon the answer to the question I asked above.

Cheers,
Rob
