I tried this on Friday afternoon - thought I'd try again...
I keep running into a brick wall when installing the perl module IO::Socket::SSL. During the install, I get an error message that makes the install fail. The message happens when cpan is running external tests, so it seems like there is some kind of problem with a setting somewhere. I googled the error, I saw that other people have had problems with their DNS settings, but everything is fine as far as I know. Anyone know what kinds of issues might produce errors like this, or anyone know what kinds of settings need to be in place when dealing with sockets? Error message: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /m1/shared/perl/5.8.5-09/lib/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/Socket.pm line 373. Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 4 at /m1/shared/perl/5.8.5-09/lib/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/Socket.pm line 373. I have no idea what I'm doing, but thanks, John W. P.S. I'm installing using cpan on solaris 9, perl 5.8.5. And technically, this error happens while cpan is installing Net::SSLeay, a dependency of IO::Socket::SSL.
