OK, I finally found out why Crypt-SSLeay won't install. It is a Solaris-only module! I used 'describe Crypt-SSLeay' in ppm3 to find this out. So the next question is: How can I use my perl script to read https pages? I keep getting a 501 http error code - protocol not available. The LWP docs say to use Crypt-SSLeay, btw. But no alternatives.
