I am very new to Perl - a few days. I am running Windows XP. I downloaded and installed ActivePerl to c:\perl. I also downloaded www::mechanize to make my life easier to access web pages. I wrote a perl program to access http://www.tab.co.nz (via mechanize) which works fine but when I use the same code to access a secure page such as https://www.ebetonline.co.nz/odds/20050212WAIK1 I get the message 'LWP will support https URLs if the Crypt::SSLeay module is installed.'.
I downloaded and put into c:\per\bin ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll but that didn't help.
I then downloaded and attempted to install OpenSSL(v9.7) into c:\openssl
first and then subsequently to c:\perl but I still get the same error message when accessing the secure page.
How do I install/compile something to allow me to access secure pages?
I don't mind starting from scratch un-installing everything and starting
With ActiveState, you use their "ppm" tool to install modules. You can find Crypt::SSLeay at
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd
