RE: Crypt::SSLeay with perl's LWP- UNIX

Bret and David,
     Thank you for the very prompt response. It is indeed a UNIX
environment. Any suggestions? 

Needless to say, I am very pleased with you and your organizations
commitment.

Regards,
Rafael Sanchez

If you're using a Windows machine for your Perl development, you might 
try reading an article I wrote for developerworks:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-perlsecure.html

I detail some of the steps necessary for automating access to a secure 
web site with Perl.  Part of the article addresses the issue of finding,

downloading, and installing Crypt::SSLeay for Windows.  If you're using 
Linux/Unix, however, I'm not sure the article will help.

Good luck.  Hope that was helpful.
