Thanks for that zentara.

I'm not familiar with doing this, so excuse my ignorance. However, I've downloaded and extracted, and I now have a directory, named as the module is, inside a local temp directory. Do I need to put this anywhere in particular before I do the "make" bits and pieces? Or does Perl figure it out?
Thanks!

    I now have a directory, named as the module is

    Just 'cd' into that directory and run 'perl Makefile.PL', etc.

    It doesn't matter where that directory is located.

    Cheers,

      Thanks Rob.

      Okay, I ran Makefile.PL and got the following:

      Warning: prerequisite Socket 1.95 not found. We have 1.8701.
      Writing Makefile for IO::Socket::SSL

      Does it matter too much, or am I okay to continue?

      Thanks again!

        It will matter when it comes to running the test suite ('make test'), so install Socket-1.95 (or a later version) before continuing.
        You could install Socket using the same procedure, or you could just 'cpan install...' it.

        Cheers,
