Re^9: HSTS policy breaks cpan utility on Windowsby syphilis (Archbishop) |

Couldn't "Configure" just test for the availability of a compatible SSL library and build/install/test the SSL modules only if the system has one of those libs? I would think that could be done if someone were prepared to make the effort. Maybe the perl developers should be asked about this ? I don't think it's a job I'd like to take on, even if I thought I had the capability. I now have wget on all 4 of my home systems (including Windows). With 'urllist' set to 'https://www.cpan.org' (as marto suggested earlier) I'm now set up so that CPAN on any fresh installation of perl will use wget over https. Cheers, Rob
