Re^3: Having trouble with Crypt::SSLeay ("locate")

OK I don't feel so bad anymore.
First thanks to all of the valuable input. I have subsequently downloaded and installed Active Package Manager - what an incredible tool! Makes life with Perl easy.

But... I tried to install the wbmail-gmail package and got: Synchronizing Database ... DONE
Mail-Webmail-Gmail marked for install

ERROR: Can't find any package that provide Crypt-SSLeay for Mail-Webmail-Gmail

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Within ppm4 (the gui interface), you can add repositories by selecting `Edit -> Preferences -> Repositories`, and then adding the corresponding location (and a name you want to remember it by). A couple of ones you might want to add that have some popular packages not present in ActiveState's (extensive) repository are http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm and http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/. The `Crypt-SSLeay` package is in the uwinnipeg repository, but this contains a post-install script to download and install the necessary openssl dlls, and the current ppm4 gui doesn't handle post-install scripts. What you can do is add these respositories, quit the gui, and then run `C:\> ppm install Crypt-SSLeay` [download] from a console window.	[reply] [d/l]
