MacPort: how to port perl?
I want to access https URLs on the web via LPW. To do this I need Crypt::SSLeay. I have not been able to install Crypt::SSLeay directly so I tried MacPorts. Everything seemed to go fine, but LPW::UserAgent says Crypt::SSLeay is not installed: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (Crypt::SSLeay not installed) I can see Crypt::SSLeay in two places: /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/Crypt/SSLeay /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/Crypt/ SSLeay Right now I've got PERL5LIB=/Library/Perl/5.8.6:/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/ 5.8.8/darwin-2level LPW insists Crypt::SSLeay is not installed. I've tried various other PER5LIB strings that seemed appropriate. None worked. How do I get Perl to recognize a Perl module ported via MacPorts? In particular, how do I get LPW::UserAgent to see Crypt::SSLeay? Thanks for any advice you van give me. Regards, Vic
Re: MacPorts: how to port perl?
I've solved the problem. The solution was simple. As David Green suggested I was having a problem with Perl versions. The original script started with the shebang line #!/usr/bin/perl -w I was running Perl 5.8.6 here; Crypt::SSLeay could not be found in this Perl's libraries. When I switched the shebang line to #!/opt/local/bin/perl -w the corresponding Perl 5.8.8 had no trougle finding Crypt::SSLeay, and everything worked fine. Thanks for your input!

Re: MacPort: how to port perl?
Do you have an issue of Perl versions here -- 5.8.6 having been upgraded to 5.8.8? I never solved the issue myself; ultimately I just stayed with the OS X standard or 5.8.8 and removed MacPorts. Would love for some clued in explanations ;) I can not remember the details of what I was trying but I guess it was less important then having a fully 'aware' Perl installation.

David Hi David, As far as I can tell Perl on a Mac pays absolutely no attention the environmental variable PERL5LIB. I have eliminated all PERL5LIB specifications on my machine. Here are a couple of test scripts that illustrate my point. Script 1 [put either shebang line here] #!/usr/bin/perl -w #!/opt/local/bin/perl -w # test1.pl - Test Perl constructs use strict; use Date::Format; Script 2 [put either shebang line here] #!/usr/bin/perl -w #!/opt/local/bin/perl -w # test2.pl - Test Perl constructs use strict; use Crypt::SSLeay; When I run Script 1, either from Terminal or from BBEdit, nothing happens with the top shebang line (Date::Format is in my /usr/bin/ perl [5.8.6] tree), but I get an error message listing @INC with the bottom shebang line (Date::Format is not in my /opt/local/bin/perl [5.8.8] tree). Just the opposite situation occurs when I run Script 2, either from Terminal or from BBEdit. I get an error message listing @INC with top bottom shebang line (Crypt::SSLeay is not in my /usr/bin/perl [5.8.6] tree), but nothing happens with the bottom shebang line (Crypt::SSLeay is in my /opt/local/bin/perl [5.8.8] tree). I have found no way of running a module in one Perl tree with the other version of Perl. Regards, Vic

I have eliminated all PERL5LIB specifications on my machine. You WILL have that problem if you try to define PERL5LIB as an environment variable in your .profile or one of the *rc scripts. If you define it in $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist it will actually be read at log in to aqua time and will be reflected in whatever shell script or bbedit worksheet that you open after that. A login to MacOS neXt bears no resemblance to a login via ssh. -- -- If it's not on fire it's a software problem. --
