Crypt::SSLeay

[A. Ma]

I am tryping to get Crypt::SSLeay to run under Windows. From CPAN, the
documentation says that Activestate has a compiled version available
already. Yet I cannot locate it when I went to Activestate. Does anyone know
where I can find one? (The documentation from CPAN implied that compiling
the module yourself is very problematic. That's why they suggested getting
the PPM version from Activestate.)

I had a quick look around there and yes, the build status says
that Crypt::SSLeay does build on Windows, but their pages
contains no link to any package. Maybe it's just me who is
unfamiliar with the packaging system they use (I'm a Unix guy).
Hopefully A. Ma is able to make more use of the site than I did.

I've never used Activestates packaging system, but I think most people
install the packages with ppm rather than downloading from the website
with a browser. Something like this might work:

ppm install Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

( I'm not sure of the syntax, check the docs for ppm. )

If you can't find it at AS, get it from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/

For perl 5.6:
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

For perl 5.8
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

Open a command line window and type:

C:\>ppm install Crypt::SSLeay

That's where I first looked but could not find the file to download.
ActiveState says that the module passed the test but the repository does not
contain the PPD file. 'Sisyphus' suggested http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/. I
will try it today.
