Re: Problem with libeay32.dll, ordinal 2253

That's not really a perl question... it sounds like your wget is linked against openssl and the openssl is either not installed or not in your path. UPDATE: Yeah, what anonymousmonk said. Why use wget from perl though? Choose WWW::Mechanize and do it in style.

or there is anoter libeay32 earlier in your path (like the ones that come with some perl modules, get installed in perl/bin)	[reply]

yes, there were/are two copies. one in the win/system32 folder and one in a folder win/system32/wins when I rename/delete the one in the .../wins folder nothing changes. when I rename (eg put a 1 in the filename) I get that the file is missing and reinstallling wget might solve the problem. doing it in style is way beyond my ablities, its just a script for a databaseupdate and it came with the license to be modified for our special needs. If anyone has the urge to show me how to get around wget, i surely can provide the script, but this i thought is to much to ask...	[reply]

The easy way to get around `wget` would be to use LWP::Simple. Most likely every instance of `wget -O - $url` would be replaced by `get $url`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
