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

Hello all,
I've been struggling away trying to find, install and use some form of SSL/LWP on the ActiveState 5.6 build of Perl. It appears Crypt::SSLeay just isn't available, or the version that is available from ActiveState, is for Solaris only. I tried building the module myself from CPAN, but unfortunately that fails. I tried using an older version of the module meant for Perl 5.0x, but sadly that crashes the process. I'm starting to wonder whether or not Windows is bereft of such functionality. Could anyone possibly suggest fixes or alternatives please ?


thanks a million for any titbits,

shoez
