++ 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.

Re^3: ActiveState Perl 10.x and Crypt::SSLeay not installed errors on Windows 2003

    I was able to install on Windows Server 2003 running perl 5.10.0 from the following link: http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd
      I love it when I search for a solution and find my own post that answers my same problem. I am getting old... --D8taSlay3r
      This last link PERFECTLY helped! Thank you for this.

      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.
