Installation Problem on FreeBSD

[Leonard Daly]

I downloaded the openssl-0.9.7d yesterday and tried to do an install (as root). A perl error was generated during configuration (see below). I did have trouble unpacking the gz file using gunzip, so I used WinZip to gunzip it and uploaded the tar file to my server.

Thanks, Any help will be appreciated.
