      Hi Sirs,

      Thanks All. For the procedures you recommended, I am stuck at this portion. ms\mingw2 is unix command(but i am using windows 32). I have unzipped openssl.0.9.8e.

      Also, what is consult INSTALL.W32 and what is the place to search?

      Thanks and Best Rgds,

      Andrew Note - stuck here ----------------- 
      - ms\mingw32
- cd out
- ..\ms\test
   (if you have trouble getting to this stage, consult INSTALL.W32)

The notes recommendation..

  Windows XP SP2
   Strawberry Perl 5.8.8-alpha-2
   OpenSSL 0.9.8e source openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz

- Install Strawberry Perl by running the installer
  (strawberry-perl-5.8.8-alpha-2.exe in this example)
- Unpack openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz
- cd openssl-0.9.8e
- ms\mingw32
- cd out
- ..\ms\test
   (if you have trouble getting to this stage, consult INSTALL.W32)
- md c:\openssl 
- md c:\openssl\bin
- md c:\openssl\lib
- md c:\openssl\include
- md c:\openssl\include\openssl
- copy /b inc32\openssl\*       c:\openssl\include\openssl
- copy /b out\libssl32.a c:\openssl\lib
- copy /b out\libeay32.a c:\openssl\lib
- copy /b libssl32.dll c:\openssl\bin
- copy /b libeay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
- copy /b out\openssl.exe  c:\openssl\bin
- cd Net-SSLeay-xxxx
- c:\strawberry-perl\perl\bin\perl Makefile.PL

    Firstly I would suggest you format your post so the error is readable

    Please use .. tags to show the errors and we can take it from there
