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

I wish posts like this, which talk more about technical support, would be put into another section instead of being mixed in with general Perl questions.

As far as I am concerned this stuff is gold when I trying to get certain libraries working and there is a lot of chafe to sort through when it is left as a 'Seekers of Perl Wisdom'

++ Agreed Personally I am fascinated with these sort of problems and find them addictive in trying to find a solution. Perhaps a Technical Help Section is called for.	[reply]

This may help (I had problems due to the limitations on my development PC) I installed Crypt::SSLeay manually on WinXP for Perl 5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 3) I downloaded Crypt-SSLeay-0.51 : http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Crypt-SSLeay.tar.gz Unzipped it and placed the files from the package in the corresponding places on my machine : Perl\site\lib\auto\Crypt\SSLeay\SSLeay.bs Perl\site\lib\auto\Crypt\SSLeay\SSLeay.dll Perl\site\lib\auto\Crypt\SSLeay\SSLeay.exp Perl\site\lib\auto\Crypt\SSLeay\SSLeay.lib Perl\html\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay.html Perl\site\lib\Net\SSL.pm Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay.pm Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay\Conn.pm Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay\CTX.pm Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay\Err.pm Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay\MainContext.pm Perl\site\lib\Crypt\SSLeay\X509.pm I then ran : `perl install_ssl` and let it download the dll files and put them in my path. The files are : ssleay32.dll libeay32.dll (I found these details in the install_ssl file) Next - I think this is the important part, make sure your path contains : <path to openssl>\OpenSSL\bin i.e. c:\openssl\bin run the command "echo %Path%" or run "set" to check My scripts didn't work until I did the last bit :) Hope that helps. chur -- Sir_-_Jeff	[reply] [d/l]
