Bret and David,
Thank you for the very prompt response. It is indeed a UNIX
environment. Any suggestions?
Needless to say, I am very pleased with you and your organizations
commitment.

Subject: Re: Crypt::SSLeay with perl's LWP
If you're using a Windows machine for your Perl development, you might
try reading an article I wrote for developerworks:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-perlsecure.html
I detail some of the steps necessary for automating access to a secure
web site with Perl. Part of the article addresses the issue of finding,
downloading, and installing Crypt::SSLeay for Windows. If you're using
Linux/Unix, however, I'm not sure the article will help.
Good luck. Hope that was helpful.
