Error: First Perl initiative

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

~~Namaste Monks~~ Users of this script are forced to play games. The game is to endlessly search for the answer which hides at the botton of the pile. See below - google's stockquote lurks at the bottom of the pit below lines of errors. Could someone assist me with removing these errors please.

Crypt::SSLeay is one of the hardest modules to install. You will want to use the PPM for it (if there is one). Ask around. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

I can confirm that there is a PPM package for it. Just installed it myself with no problems. -- meraxes	[reply]

I tried the install, and can't find it on PPM version 4.01 with ActivePerl 5.8.8.822: `WARNING: Can't find any package that provide Crypt-SSLeay for Finance-Quote` Is there a way to tell PPM where to find it? `Software speaks in tongues of man; I debug, therefore I code.`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Could you please confirm your PPM. I am employing EngInSite PPM.	[reply]

Without seeing any code it looks like you're missing a module for a start. When you installed the various Finance::Quote modules it should have installed Crypt::SSLeay... unless you did it manually. You can start by using a module installation program for your platform like `cpan` (*nix) or `ppm` (Win32's ActiveState Perl) to install modules as they handle dependancies. How did you install your modules in the first place? Just copied the source and pasted into a file? -- meraxes	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Appreciate the response. `- I am employing EngInSite PPM for module installtion. It has installe +d Finance::Quote but returned the following error at the end of insta +llation: "Module installed, but there are warnings."` [download] How would you suggest I proceed.	[reply] [d/l]
