Rob,

Thanks for the reply. Here's what I'm seeing:

• The install of IO::Socket::SSL fails because it can't find Net::SSLeay.

Of course, if I could install Net::SSLeay, I wouldn't need IO::Socket::SSL. I already have code which works with Net::SSLeay (at least under snow leopard).

• Net::SSLeay fails because it can't find openssl. It asks me to set the OPENSSL_PREFIX environment variable.
• It looks like there is a directory under C: which contains OpenSSL (after I download and install the latest openssl, which for some reason, doesn't set the OPENSSL_PREFIX environment variable). So I set the environment variable.
• However, this version of openssl is newer than the openssl with which Net::SSLeay was built (which is not surprising, because I just downloaded it).
• It still tries to install, but ultimately, it fails...

Does this mean that I have to abandon the package managers and go rebuild Net::SSLeay from source?

Thanks,

Bill B
