Problems with SSLeay

dwatson06 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm having problems setting up SSLeay on a Windows box. First of all, the SSLeay requires OpenSSL installed. The OpenSSL documentation says I need to install VC++, A gnu compiler or Cygwin to compile OpenSSL. Then there is a referrencing problem in Cygwin... Is there a shorter way to use SSL through my perl script? On the Windows box, there is a Verisign encryption key, does anyone know if/how I could route through it or any other options would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel

Assuming you're using ActivePerl, is there some reason you cannot use the precompiled PPD from ActiveState? `ppm install Crypt-SSLeay`	[reply]

Not familiar with precompiled PPD files. Sorry, I'm a newby. Thank you.	[reply]
