Well, the above tells you that Net::SSL no longer works with SSLeay or with ancient versions of OpenSSL but requires OpenSSL post 0.9.2b to be present on your system. > What do I neeed to get IO::Socket:SSL to install? According to it's POD I'd say you need Net::SSLeay which in turn needs a more recent version of OpenSSL ;-) Now the interesting question is why the Net::SSLeay installation did not work. But we can't answer that without more info - but also this is a topic beyond the scope of this list... heiko
