Appreciate the response.

Perl version is MSWin32-x86-multi-thread. Is ppm even an option without internet connectivity? The whole reason I'm building from scratch was that I did not believe it possible. As far as the error goes, I was trying to debug it manually, but I don't quite understand what's going on. In SSL.pm @ line 25 (in "use constant"), there's a line that says "SSL_VERIFY_NONE => Net::SSLeay::VERIFY_NONE()". This is invoking the AUTOLOAD routine in SSLeay.pm. The constant() call in that function sets $! to "Bad file descriptor".

According to the other linked node with the identical problem, the autoloader is trying to load C constants from related XS header files. This makes sense, as I can find a SSL_VERIFY_NONE variable in the C source. However, I see nothing related in any of the .al files while grepping through the auto/Net/SSLeay directory. Could you perhaps illustrate the typical process in which this correctly occurs so that I can debug where the failure is coming from, or at least isolate the failure? For now, I don't know if the bug is in my openssl build, my ActiveState build, my Net::SSLeay build, or something entirely different. Am I missing .al files? Did they get built incorrectly? Is the .dll hosed? Some way to at least start pinpointing the problem would at least put me back on track. Since both Perl and the module were built with the same compiler on the same machine (in this case 'cl' using 'nmake'/Visual Studio), I don't understand how it could be a library/CRT issue.
