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.

    Cheers,

      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!!
