So, what does `build.log` say? I believe I posted a set of patches for the module to its bug tracker, have you applied them?	[reply] [d/l]

Can anyone pls suggest me what to do..? It's a pain that (IMO) you shouldn't have to endure, but just humour cpanm, check out what \.cpanm\build.log has to say on the matter and report back here (if \.cpanm\build.log doesn't tell you anything that makes sense to you). Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Can anyone pls suggest me what to do..? Grab an older version from http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Crypt-SSLeay/, or grab a newer one if its available from another PPM::Repositories, or read build.log and figure it out (Tutorials may help), or install http://strawberryperl.com/ or http://www.citrusperl.com/ as both the one and the other include ssleay	[reply]
