Hello Wise Monks,

How can I install Crypt::SSLeay easily for Perl v5.8.8 in Windows XP?

I hope there's an easy way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello. I am the current maintainer of Crypt::SSLeay. If the ActiveState repository hasn't caught up with the recent releases, I know it's available on Randy Kobes's repository.

    Have a look at http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/~dland/Crypt-SSLeay and you can find a ppd module for it. If you encounter any bugs or other problems, please file a bug report on the rt.cpan.org queue, as mentioned in the documentation.

    Hmm, this is interesting. ActiveState isn't using the latest 0.53 stable release, because it fails some custom tests they've built: http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-windows/windows-5.8/Crypt-SSLeay-0.53.txt . That is not what the test suite produces (which is, in fact, hopelessly feeble and something I want to address). I wonder how I can find out what they're using... it would be nice to fold it into the distribution. Hmm....
