Sorry Rafael, my knowledge of package installation is somewhat limited
to the Windows platform. I don't believe I can provide much assistance
other than suggest you try setting up CPAN on your Unix machine (search
the net for installation instructions). CPAN on Unix can help make
adding modules to your Perl installation easier by searching for modules
and then kicking off an installation of a specific module that will also
install all dependencies. If that doesn't work, then try downloading the
module from www.cpan.org directly and follow the MAKE instructions
included with the module. In the past I have had much better luck with
this approach on Unix than using the CPAN set up. Sorry I cannot
provide more assistance.

Subject: Re: Crypt::SSLeay with perl's LWP
If you're using a Windows machine for your Perl development, you might
try reading an article I wrote for developerworks:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-perlsecure.html
I detail some of the steps necessary for automating access to a secure
web site with Perl. Part of the article addresses the issue of finding,
downloading, and installing Crypt::SSLeay for Windows. If you're using
Linux/Unix, however, I'm not sure the article will help.
Good luck. Hope that was helpful.

Greetings,
I am hoping you can help out with a perl
configuration
we have. My name is Rafael, I'm a systems administrator at Morgan
Stanley in Illinois. One of our developers has recently started using
Perlx and has gotten far enough to need to use the https functionality
with Perl. Upon running their script, they receive the following
error:
501 (Not Implemented) Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported
(Crypt::SSLeay not installed)
Content-Type: text/plain
Client-Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:17:13 GMT
Client-Warning: Internal response
LWP will support https URLs if the Crypt::SSLeay module is installed.
More information at <http://www.linpro.no/lwp/libwww-perl/README.SSL>.
I am not versed in the world of Perl or it's configurations and I am
hoping that you may be able to point us in the right direction. I did
find some detailed configuration info online but it contained no info
about what file needs to be adjusted.
http://search.cpan.org/~dland/Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/SSLeay.pm#SUPPORT
On our system, the Perl installation is located at:
/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3
Is there a way to configure the Crypt::SSLeay module, verify that it
exists and configure our installation to use it?
Forgive me if any of my questions or statements are a bit misguided
but
I am new to the wolrd of Perl. If there is any other information you
would need to assist, please let me know. I am more than happy to
provide any more info you may need.
Thanks,
Rafael Sanchez
