Hello everyone, never been in a Perl group before. Although I have been doing many different scripting and programming in a few different languages. Well the question is Trying to implement, SOAP-Lite-0.714 in Suse Linux. Almost there, but 2 more packages having issues with the "make to make install". Although they install. SOAP-Lite-0.714 or other revisions do not recognize them. They are below. Client HTTPS support Crypt::SSLeay no Client FTP support SOAP::Transport::FTP (v0.712) no Thank you everyone.

    Do you mean you are trying to "install" SOAP-Lite? The easiest way to do that is to execute this command ...
    $ perl -MCPAN -eshell
    ... when you the ...
    cpan[1]>
    ... prompt enter 'install SOAP::Lite'
      Yes - trying to "install" SOAP-Lite. It installs, but will not regonize. Although they passed Makefile, make, make test and make install. Client HTTPS support Crypt::SSLeay Client FTP support SOAP::Transport::FTP What you mentioned is directly from CPAN download site. I will try to give that a try, and see how it goes. The reason, why I need to implement this is below. Objective - to produce an XML script, and XML file, based on input of Web page. 1). Written a perl script to produce XML script and file (part is done). 2). Created HTML/PHP Web Pages with selections, input and more (part is done). 3). Need to have have a translation layer between HTML/PHP to and from Perl. To control Perl routines. Thanks,
        Well the reason I say install by executing perl -MCPAN -eshell is that CPAN module will download and install any modules SOAP::Lite is dependent upon. Crypt::SSLeay will probably need some encryption software installed that is not available from cpan, but you would get some error message telling you what to do. So really do the perl -MCPAN -eshell thing and let the CPAN module do its thing. It is better than doing wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MK/MKUTTER/SOAP-Lite-0.714.tar.gz && tar -xzf SOAP-Lite-0.714.tar.gz && cd SOAP-Lite-0.714 && make && make test && make install.
      Update tried using your suggestion. SOAP::Lite will install, but before the install it will not recognize the below modules. Client HTTPS support Crypt::SSLeay Client FTP support SOAP::Transport::FTP During install, it says there is "SOAP::Transport::FTP (v7.11). However, after install it should be there and a reinstalling again it still does not see it. thanks,
        Client HTTPS support Crypt::SSLeay Client FTP support SOAP::Transport::FTP. Still will not be recognized, by SOAP:Lite. Not sure why is not being seen.
