Perl 5.8.5 The error isn't coming from a script - it's from the actual install using cpan.
Really what I'm doing is installing IO::Socket::SSL. Right into the install, cpan recognizes I don't have Net::SSLeay, so it goes ahead and installs it first, and that's when I get this error, I think during the make test command. I can publish the whole output if it helps... -----Original Message----- From: Rob Dixon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 3:18 PM To: beginners@perl.org Cc: John Wilson Subject: Re: dns error or module error?

Any > advice? My first guess is that you have a bug in your script. Please would you publish it, and say what version of Perl you are using? If you are certain that your program is OK then perhaps you need to update the modules that Net::SSLeay depends on. But I doubt if there is a problem with Socket itself, especially as it has compiled with no errors. Finally, please tell us more about how you have installed the module. Did you use CPAN and get no errors from the test phase? Take a look at perldoc perlmodinstall and see if that helps.
