Based on this (and your previous post), You are trying to add SSL support for Windows. The easiest way to do this is to install ActiveState Perl (which I guess you have) and to use the ppm facility to install Crypt::SSLeay from the University of Winnepeg repository. You need to do the following: ppm3 rep add Winnepeg http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ search Crypt-SSLeay install Crypt-SSLeay pay attention to the bit that asked about downloading the two dlls. You may need to relocate the DLLs in your PATH in order to get this to work. The DLLs can be manually downloaded from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scripts/ if you don't get it right first time.

What is the specific error message you're getting? I'd suggest typing it into google, and look at what other people did. It sounds, though, like you may have to install those libraries. Would have to see the error messages to tell you more .... -- Burvil	[reply]
