installing Crypt::SSLeay

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Using the newest ActiveState Perl build I need to have Crypt::SSLeay installed to connect to a HTTPS server. Does anyone know where I can download it?

After doing a Google,I came across "ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd" but it says it's the wrong version for my build.

Can someone give me a PPM link for this? I'm on WinXP.

In the interest of "teach a man to fish": if I to go the root site (http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca), I notice that there is a link to CPAN Search. Clicking on that presents me with a nice search page. Typing "Crypt::SSLeay" into the search field brings me here, after which I click "Crypt::SSLeay" to go here. At the bottom of the page is a list of links to PPM distributions of this module.

Use install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd. It worked for me a little while back on the newest build. Hope this helps. "Age is nothing more than an inaccurate number bestowed upon us at birth as just another means for others to judge and classify us" sulfericacid	[reply]
