in thread Windows module problem

Thank you very much.

It's really sad how I didn't know that ActiveState ppm can add different repositories.

I read your ReadMe which helped me a lot. I ended up adding 6 or 7 other repositories (for others that may come to this problem, click the ReadMe file and goto ActiveState faq to see how to add repositories), and I also did end up finding Crypt::SSLeay in my search results! :)

But the problem now is that It can't build and gives me a error saying:

" Error: no suitable installation target found for package Crypt-SSLeay. "

I searched about this problem and its mainly due to the fact that the Crypt::SSLeay build is for 5.6 and not 5.8. I'm using ActivePerl 5.8 and PPM v3.1. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? I also went to the Crypt::SSLeay readme and it says:

Win32, WinNT, Win2000, can't build If you cannot get it to build on your windows box, try ActiveState per +l, at least their builds 522 & 618 are known to have a ppm install of + Crypt::SSLeay available. Please see http://www.activestate.com for m +ore info.

I'm not sure what this really means but thought I might add it to give more of an idea?

Thanks,
Anthony

    Why don't you try `perldoc PPM::Repositories' and this time add repositories for your perl version.

    MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
