The Crypt::SSLeay works OK. Unfortunately Activestate don't seem to have a
version of IO-Socket-SSL for the WIN32 platform (only linux and solaris) so
I think we may have to look at something other than PERL.
Thanks for your help

Install CRYPT::SSLeay
how to
- Open dos prompt
- type ppm
- type "install Crypt::SSLeay"
- type "y"
- done
Then you can just use a normal LWP request and just put an s on the end of
https.
If you need lower level functionality you will have to get the io-socket-ssl
module. Since you were having issues with ppm, you could just go to CPAN
and download the tar and install it or go to www.activestate.com/packages I
think or its /modules.

Thanks Thomas
We are indeed using the activstate version of PERL. I don't seem to be able
to access the io-socket-ssl module though. I changed (I think) the PPM
repository to point to http://www.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/ but
PPM will not list / install the modules. I'll keep plugging away at it.
One question though: do you know if the
http://www.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/ directory requrires a
particular version of PERL etc. I just wounder why the modules are in this
directory and not in the standard repositiory?
Also, I have searched high and low for examples of how this module shopuld
be used but to no avail. If anyone has any examples of using IO-Socket-SSL
it would be very intersesting
Thanks
Bill

I haven't tried this (yet), but a quick CPAN search would suggest
that the Perl module IO::Socket::SSL has what you need. See
http://search.cpan.org/doc/ASPA/IO-Socket-SSL-0.77/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pm
for a description of the module.
Now if you're on NT, it's almost certain you'd want to use the
ActiveState Perl port (http://www.activestate.com). However, the
IO::Socket::SSL module is not in their standard repository. You
will have to add http://www.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/
to the list of repositories to search in ppm, their Perl Package
manager.
HTH,
Thomas
