Strange that I don't pass the tests for Crypt::SSLeay 0.57 then...

For me with Strawberry, the failing test in 01-connect.t gets skipped - so, of course, that means the script has passed. Perhaps that's the means by which the script also passes for most others.

I note from the output you provided that $sock->blocking is returning an empty string for you rather than the expected '0', and I wonder if it really *should* return 0, or whether it merely ought to return false. (I don't know ... but if it's the latter, then clearly that's a bug in the test script.)

Cheers,
Rob
