> I'm installing using cpan on solaris 9, perl 5.8.5. And technically, this error happens while cpan is installing Net::SSLeay, a dependency of IO::Socket::SSL. Solaris uses a different set of info for that stuff than the rest of the world. It may just be the test hardcoding the linux value in the open/create socket code. Cpan copies all the stuff to (usually) your home dir/.cpan/build/<module> so you can cd there and run $ perl Makefile.pl $ make $ make test and even (may need to sudo/become root): # make install. The worst case you end up w/ a broken module in there (you can try the Net::SSLeay and go back into cpan for IO::Socket if you want) which isn't much worse than not having it ;->. There may be useful info in the README or INSTALL files for Net::SSLeay and Sol. a ------------------- Andy Bach Systems Mangler Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: (608) 261-5738 Fax: 264-5932 "When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear."
