I just got finished force installing Crypt::SSLeay
There's the problem, right there. Using "force install" doesn't solve compile problems, it simply tells the CPAN shell to ignore them and install the module anyway.
What error messages did you get when you compiled the module? When it asked what openssl library to use, did you tell it to use the one in /usr (the default), or did you specify a different one?
I haven't had great luck with CPAN.. is there another way to install modules?
CPAN neither causes nor prevents compile errors. All it does is download the module, unwrap the tarball, and run "perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install". If that sequence of commands fails under CPAN, it will fail in the same way if you run it manually.
