StrawberryPerl - installing modules
Hello all. Some background - I am familiar with perl generally, but it has been a while and I have never run it on Windows before. I installed StrawberryPerl as I wanted the use of some Cpan modules... in particular, I want to use GMail::Checker and WWW::Contact::Hotmail. I am trying to install these modules, which fails.

Checking the dependencies on Cpan, I get as far as Net::SSLeay, which fails on install also, so I assume that is why the above modules cannot install either. Here is the output I get when attempting the install:

Running install for module 'Net::SSLeay' Running make for F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.35.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory C:\strawberry\cpan\build\Net-SSLeay-1.35-zncySb 'C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL' returned status 512, won't make Running make test Make had some problems, won't test Running make install Make had some problems, won't install



Please do you have any ideas what the problem could be here? Many thanks.
