jdtoronto has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In the past I had a problem with Windows machines having horribly outdated versions of some SSL related dll's installed and ways to get around this. Those probelsm are fixed, but now I am having an issue on somne machines where LWP::UserAgent is returning 500 errors. The same code run on other machines has no such problems.

I am trying to be lazy and discover if anyone else has had a similar problem.

    I suspect that Crypt::SSLeay isn't properly installed on the machines that are having problems. LWP returns a 500 when it can't find the supporting SSL library for an https request.
