Well, I did look at the error message. Everything I've found says I need to install OpenSSL before I install Crypt before Mech will handle SSL. I guess I figured "natively" meant it was already in there and everything was set to go. We'll chalk that up as my misunderstanding.

I'm running ActiveState Perl 5.8.7 with Komodo. I've tried to install Crypt through Komodo's Visual Package Manager, but couldn't even find it. Same result using the PPM utility. Searched the repositories to no avail.
