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

You may download it from Randy Kobes's PPM repository by using the following command:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

There's a minor problem with that. The ppd by that url contains: 

OpenSSL glue that provides LWP https support Joshua Chamas <josh (at) 
+chamas dot com> install_ssl

[download]

which means that ppm unsurprisingly reports: 

C:\Perl510\bin>ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/C
+rypt-SSLeay.ppd
ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this 
+platform

[download]

Googling turns up http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd with equally useless contents.

Looking further, I found this page(*) which has this link which list another link under the heading "Win32 PPM packages for "Crypt-SSLeay"" uwinnipeg Perl 5.10 repository 0.57 which takes you back to the link(*) above :(

    Not to be an **s but why is this so difficult? I mean I installed 20 other packages without a hitch. Heck I even remembered how to build openssl using a less than friendly VC++ environment. This is just so painful for such a simple thing. But then again if I wish I were a bit more clever to figure this out:L(

      Since you've asked, here is a console log from how I got things to work.

        Ok last question. Where did you find the source for Crypt::SSLeay? All I can find is the pre-built distribution.
