Net::SSLeay won't install

Question

cpan Net::SSLeay

Running install for module \'Net::SSLeay\'
Running make for M/MI/MIKEM/Net-SSLeay-1.55.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory /r         


        

Answer 1

Some CPAN modules require the C-header files to compile successfully. They end with -dev. These are not normally package with the OS. For Net::SSLeay you'll need to install libssl-dev.

For Debian distros: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
