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

I'm porting a working Unix Perl program to Windows, and for some reason I'm having trouble getting IO::Socket::SSL to work. I don't seem to be able to create sockets with it at all. I'm testing with this one-liner: 
perl -MIO::Socket::SSL=debug4 -e
  "$sock=IO::Socket::SSL->new('whereabouts.eecs.umich.edu:443')
     or die IO::Socket::SSL::errstr"

[download]
with this result: 
CA file certs/my-ca.pem not found, using CA path instead.
IO::Socket::INET configuration failederror:00000000:lib(0):func(0):rea
+son(0)
 at -e line 1
IO::Socket::INET configuration failederror:00000000:lib(0):func(0):rea
+son(0) at
-e line 1.

[download]

The failure seems to happen when something tries to turn blocking on, which ends up in IO::Socket::INET::configure, which calls the blocking method on the socket, which fails.

I'm running on Windows 2000, with ActiveState Perl 5.8.8.817, with Net::SSLeay 1.30 and IO::Socket::SSL 0.999, both from http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/

Does this module work for other people on Windows? Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong? Any advice for troubleshooting and fixing this?

Thanks!

Update: Fix Net::SSLeay version number; not sure what file I got it from before...

    No such problem for me: 
    D:\>perl -MIO::Socket::SSL=debug4 -e  "$sock=IO::Socket::SSL->new('whe
+reabouts.eecs.umich.edu:443') or die IO::Socket::SSL::errstr"

D:\>perl -MNet::SSLeay -e "print $Net::SSLeay::VERSION"
1.25
D:\>perl -MIO::Socket::SSL -e "print $IO::Socket::SSL::VERSION"
0.92

    Are you sure that you're running Net::SSLeay-0.61 ? I couldn't locate that version. If it exists it must be fairly old as version 1.00 was released over 8 years ago. Maybe that's where your problem lies.

    Cheers,
