Re: Infuriating Modules Dependency Question

[moritz]

What am I doing wrong?

You aren't using the tools that make installing a module easy. It can be as simple as typing

cpan install REST::Client

in your shell. If you have trouble with it, please search perlmonks for the various questions and tutorials about module installation.

Thanks for the reply! Wow, I didn't realize that the cpan command could install packages automagically. Doh! Anyway, I ran 'install REST::Client' within the cpan terminal. That went fine. My script still failed as expected, complaining about SSLeay.pm missing. So I ran 'install Crypt::SSLeay' within cpan. It failed, giving me the error message below. Thoughts?

Did you read the documentation for Crypt::SSLeay?

You must have OpenSSL installed before compiling this module. You can get the latest OpenSSL package from http://www.openssl.org/.

Do you have OpenSSL installed?

[clegane]

CountZero, thanks! I had not seen that. Can it be installed with cpan? This: 'cpan install Crypt::OpenSSL' doesn't seem to work. Sorry, I know I'm probably asking very basic questions.
