Re^3: installing Net-SSLeay on Windows system

According to the other linked node with the identical problem

Duh - missed that. I thought the problem was with Net::SSLeay, but it's IO::Socket::SSL that's causing the problem, isn't it. (Can't reproduce that problem with IO::Socket::SSL on my Win32 x86 perl-5.10.1 - but I'm using a mingw-built perl with a static openssl-0.9.8n library, built using the same compiler.)

Quick fix:
How about using Strawberry Perl - which comes with both Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL already installed ? The latest strawberry-5.12.0 has versions 1.36 and 1.33 respectively - plus it gives you the (gcc) compiler so that you can update these modules (and build other extensions) as you want.

Cheers,
Rob

Hrm, never tried Strawberry Perl, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks.	[reply]

never tried Strawberry Perl You should be pleasantly surprised when you do try it. As well as using the MinGW port of gcc as your compiler, you'll be using dmake (which also comes with Strawberry Perl) as the make utility. So don't try to use 'nmake' with Strawberry Perl ... as some have done in the past :-) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
