It should work - I just checked the files, and they seem OK. Do you have any proxy/firewall things that need be set? If you grab the ppd and tar.gz files, and save them locally, does ppm install Crypt-SSLeay.ppd work? You'll have to adjust the location of the tar.gz file specified in the ppd file to do this, as well as removing the reference to the post-install script which grabs the external dlls (you can get libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scripts/ manually, and then place them somewhere in your PATH). -- best regards, randy _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
