Re: IO::Socket::SSL - Install Issues

If you are using SELinux, then the problem isn't CPAN but SELinux. I was using a very strict enforcement policy, and that was the problem. In order to install IO::Socket::SSL, you must install Crypt::SSLeay, Net::SSLeay, and LWP::Protocol::https. Before you can do that, go to System->Security and Firewall. A widget will open, look for Firewall Options, and put a check on

Trusted Services: Secure WWW (HTTPS)
[download]

Next, go to

SELinux
Modify SELinux Policy
Put a check on the allow boxes for:
    Admin
    FTP
    HTTPD Service
    rsync
[download]

Close the browser and reboot. Then start the install using CPAN.

Thanks for the info Khen1950fx. Yes, I do use SELinux, so I guess that probably was the problem. Mind you, I was grateful to learn the makefile stuff anyway, so it was a good learning experience, but I'll remember the SELinux tip for future reference. Thanks!	[reply]
