in thread IO::Socket::SSL - Install Issues

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.

      Thanks again.

      Turns out there were four or five other modules I needed to do the same thing for, but - pleasingly - after downloading each of them and doing make/install's (I'm now wary of cpan) I have managed to get IO::Socket::SSL installed, without it reporting any errors.

      Unfortunately I don't have time to test it with my script right now, but I'll report back in the morning!

      Thanks again to all

        Actually, I found time to test it tonight, and it works great. Thanks very much indeed!!
