I'm a UNIX hack, but I want to run Web Scraping Proxy on a Windows box
that does not have internet access (I'm scraping local pages). So I
installed ActivePerl. So far, so good.
But WSP needs some old SSLeay crypto modules. ActiveState doesn't
supply crypto modules (http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/
ActivePerl/PPM/Repository) but they kindly provide a link to the
University of Winnipeg, specifically mentioning the two modules I
require (Crypt-SSLeay and Net_SSLeay).
Since I don't have web access on the target PC then I am looking for a
PPM file so I can do a local install.
I found where the plain PPMs are supposedly published:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86
And I downloaded the one I need: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Crypt-SSLeay.tar.gz
What I expected to find therein was a file named whatever.ppm that I
could run ppm against. But the tarball contains a directory structure
that looks like this:
[.....]
drwxrwxrwx 0 0 0 Dec 26 12:20:22 2006 blib/html/site
drwxrwxrwx 0 0 0 Dec 26 12:20:22 2006 blib/html
-rw-rw-rw- 0 0 0 Dec 26 12:19:22 2006 blib/lib/auto/Crypt/
SSLeay/.exists
drwxrwxrwx 0 0 0 Dec 26 12:19:22 2006 blib/lib/auto/Crypt/
SSLeay
drwxrwxrwx 0 0 0 Dec 26 12:19:22 2006 blib/lib/auto/Crypt
drwxrwxrwx 0 0 0 Dec 26 12:19:22 2006 blib/lib/auto
[.....]
There is no README or anything telling me what to do with this. Is
this a PPM? Am I supposed to just unroll this somewhere on my Windows
box? Where? What is this thing?
Can anybody help a poor UNIX hack figure this out?
Thanks!
