Fetching https sites using LWP in Windows

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

Hello Wise Monks, I wrote a perl program in windows using Active State's Build 813 to fetch the contents of an https url. I got the following message:

LWP will support https URLs if the Crypt::SSLeay module is installed.

I tried to install Crypt:SSLeay but it seems it is not found in the active state repositories. How do I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Gorby

Hi Gorby, Try typing `ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd` from the command line. Also have you seen the module PPM::Repositories? Hope this helps. Martin	[reply] [d/l]

I know crazyinsomniac's repository had it, but perlmonk.org has been offline for a while already, so... Well, you can always simply ask google: Crypt-SSLeay filetype:ppd. The first hit, http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd, is the URL for the PPD file for 5.8.x. Just what you wanted, I am sure.	[reply]
