in thread ActiveState Perl 10.x and Crypt::SSLeay not installed errors on Windows 2003

$ perl -MCrypt::SSLeay -e "print 'OK'" Can't find 'boot_Crypt__SSLeay' symbol in c:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Crypt/ +SSLeay/SSL eay.dll at -e line 0 Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

So, I don't know how you installed Crypt::SSLeay for this version of Perl, but it didn't work. Maybe you have more than one version of Perl on this machine and for some reason they "both" think that C:/Perl/lib and C:/Perl/site/lib are fair game for them. In any case, you will have to resolve that situation and then reinstall Crypt::SSLeay.

    Only one version of Perl on this machine I just installed it in the past 48 hours on this host. What do you see that leads you to believe there is more than one installation? I have installed and reinstalled SSLeay several times.

      As it does not work, your installation obviously failed. There are two possibilities:

      1. The version of Crypt::SSLeay belongs to another, incompatible, version of Perl. You adamantly rule that out.
      2. You haven't installed OpenSSL, especially the DLLs that come with it.

      So likely, number two is the one.

      Update: BrowserUk's suggestion is even more likely. I forgot about the "2003" in your query.
