No problem. Thank you for the response. I found a way around this. 1) I used the cpan shell prompt to install: perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN> install Crypt::SSLeay 2) Upon asking me about SSL, I gave it the PARENT directory where all of my openssl files were located at: /usr/sfw/bin/ 3) When this install request was attempting to install the crypt module, it ran an error: sh: cc: not found *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `SSLeay.o' /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible I installed a free c compiler from Sun "Sun Studio 12". The command line install allows you to remove unnecessary packages and just get the necessities. The package is just over 1 gig in size zipped so plan ahead for the download. Thanks to all for the input and special thanks to David Moreno for the CPAN installer tool tip.

I don't believe I can provide much assistance other than suggest you try setting up CPAN on your Unix machine (search the net for installation instructions). CPAN on Unix can help make adding modules to your Perl installation easier by searching for modules and then kicking off an installation of a specific module that will also install all dependencies. If that doesn't work, then try downloading the module from www.cpan.org directly and follow the MAKE instructions included with the module. In the past I have had much better luck with this approach on Unix than using the CPAN set up. Sorry I cannot provide more assistance.
