Some versions back the envvar for modules was PERL5LIB; I haven't rechecked recently. I don't use the ActiveState packaging, so I don't know if its installer should have handled this automatically. I suggest checking their documentation. Alternatively, I think giving -Icorrectlib should work, which could easily be done by changing var PERL in the .mak file(s) to include it, but I haven't tested. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
