Re: ActiveState Perl 10.x and Crypt::SSLeay not installed errors on Windows 2003

Hi, I'm the maintainer for Crypt::SSLeay. Did you read the following part of the documentation?

For Activestate users, the ActiveState company does not have a permit from the Canadian Federal Government to distribute cryptographic software. This prevents Crypt::SSLeay from being distributed as a PPM package from their repository. See http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/5.8/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html#crypto_packages for more information on this issue.
You may download it from Randy Kobes's PPM repository by using the following command:
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

An alternative is to add the uwinnipeg.ca PPM repository to your local installation. See http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/faqs/ppm.html for more details.

One other minor detail that many people seem to overlook, it's not actually the module Crypt::SSLeay that is of interest to LWP, but rather the module Net::SSL, which is something that the Crypt-SSLeay distribution contains.

I must admit that I don't know, one way or the other, if you need to have the OpenSSL windows package installed or not. I have it installed anyway, because I test to ensure that the module works with Strawberry Perl. I'll have to remember to de-install OpenSSL at some point on my Windows box and see if Net::SSL works afterwards.

You may download it from Randy Kobes's PPM repository by using the following command: ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd There's a minor problem with that. The ppd by that url contains: `OpenSSL glue that provides LWP https support Joshua Chamas <josh (at) +chamas dot com> install_ssl` [download] which means that ppm unsurprisingly reports: `C:\Perl510\bin>ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/C +rypt-SSLeay.ppd ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this +platform` [download] Googling turns up http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd with equally useless contents. Looking further, I found this page() which has this link which list another link under the heading "Win32 PPM packages for "Crypt-SSLeay"" uwinnipeg Perl 5.10 repository 0.57 which takes you back to the link() above :( Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Not to be an **s but why is this so difficult? I mean I installed 20 other packages without a hitch. Heck I even remembered how to build openssl using a less than friendly VC++ environment. This is just so painful for such a simple thing. But then again if I wish I were a bit more clever to figure this out:L(	[reply]

I am running version 5.10 and according to the U Winnipeg site the link is 10.x specific - http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/package.xml .
