Issues installing HTTP::QuickBase

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

Hi,

I am trying to make HTTP::QuickBase work. I have installed that package and it was successful. But when I run the test.pl that came along with it, it say:

# perl test.pl
QuickBase.pm is not properly installed.
                Often this results because SSL support (Crypt:SSLeay) 
+has not been installed for LWP. Sorry, you do not have access to an a
+pplication named &quot;QuickBase KnowledgeBase and Support Center&quo
+t;. at test.pl line 21.
[download]

I check for Crypt:SSLeay and it is installed on my system. Still, I go ahead and install this package along with opensll-devel rpm and this installation is also successful.

But again when i run the test.pl that came with HTTP::QuickBase, it still gives me the same error.

I tried above setup on RHEL 5.6 as well as on Fedora 15 Lovelock. I get the exact same result.

Please help. Thank you.

Looking at test.pl, it seems that it might be lying about QuickBase not being properly installed -- there's any number of things that could go wrong (like the quickbase service stopping to work, network failures etc.) that are reported as an installation failure. I guess diagnosing the actual problem will take quite a bit of effort. I'd seriously reconsider using a module with such bad error reporting. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

I am sure that the Module is fine. We have quite a few applications which are using this module to extract/upload data to quickbase. I am missing something which I am not able to figure out. Thanks for replying.	[reply]
