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

As hard as I try, I am unable to add this package to my ActivePerl setup. I have all the correct repositories set in PPM, and even though the package is listed as existing in those, it never appears in the PPM list. The one io-socket-ssl.ppd file I found was for the wrong perl version - I am using 5.10. Any help would be sincerely appreciated! KW

    Which repos do you have in ppm? Just google search and find a reliable repo which has it:

    c:\ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/IO-Socket-SSL.ppd

    Update: Untested, I can't test this from work.

      The ppd files I do find have all told me 'The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform'
