That will give you the ppd file (though you might have to view the html source for that page to see it). It looks like: <SOFTPKG NAME="Crypt-SSLeay" VERSION="0,51,0,0"> <TITLE>Crypt-SSLeay</TITLE> <ABSTRACT>OpenSSL glue that provides LWP https support</ABSTRACT> <AUTHOR>Joshua Chamas <josh (at) chamas dot com></AUTHOR> <IMPLEMENTATION> <OS NAME="MSWin32" /> <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" /> <CODEBASE HREF="http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Crypt-SSLeay.tar.gz"; /> <INSTALL EXEC="PPM_PERL" HREF="http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scripts/install_ssl";>install_ssl</IN STALL> </IMPLEMENTATION> </SOFTPKG> Save that file as Crypt-SSLeay.ppd. Download http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Crypt-SSLeay.tar.gz (that's the file quoted in the CODEBASE HREF section of Crypt-SSLeay.ppd) and save it in the same folder that contains your Crypt-SSLeay.ppd. Then cd to that folder. Then change the CODEBASE HREF line in your Crypt-SSLeay.ppd so it reads: <CODEBASE HREF="Crypt-SSLeay.tar.gz" /> That INSTALL EXEC line is all about installing the OpenSSL dll's. I'm not sure what effect that will have. Probably safest to remove that line entirely. If you need the dll's (and you probably do) just grab them from the uwinnipeg website and place them in a folder that's in your path. You can grab the dll's from: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scripts/ssleay32.dll and http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scripts/libeay32.dll Then try a "local install" by running: ppm install Crypt-SSLeay.ppd Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
