NoSyu has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello
I setup the Strawberry perl 5.10.0.3 and I want to use WWW::Mechanize module to get the https pages.
but message said, Crypt::SSLeay not installed.
Therefore I setup this to use cpan, but it dosen't work.
and I find the sentence on http://search.cpan.org/~dland/Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/SSLeay.pm

Windows
Crypt::SSLeay builds correctly with Strawberry Perl.
http://search.cpan.org/~dland/Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/SSLeay.pm#Windows

But it's not.
How can I use Crypt::SSLeay on windows strawberry perl?
Thanks to read it.

If Strawberry Perl 5.10.0.3 ships with the ppm utility, you can just: `ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd` [download] If the ppm utility is not currently provided, you could install the version of PPM that's on CPAN. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks. I do that, and it works. In fact, I did that code, but it dosen't work. So I want to another way to solve this problem. Now I modified D drive from CD-ROM to USB Memory. Therefore, the ppm program can write on D drive. I don't know why ppm use C drive.OTL... Thanks a lot. Have a nice day~^^	[reply]

You need to make sure you have the OpenSSL library installed (see the documentation for the download link). If you install it in `c:\openssl` (as proposed by default), the `Makefile.PL` will find it automatically. After that, it's a simple matter of: `perl Makefile.PL <answer any questions> dmake dmake test dmake install` [download] The first stage will prompt you for the path to the OpenSSL library if it can't find it. If you have any specific problems, please post the error message. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply] [d/l]
