Mac OS X, Perl and SSL

By Shahram Javey

Perl on MAC does not support SSL out of the box. So you must install SSL support:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e "install Crypt::SSLeay"

    Hm… unfortunately this fails – which development stuff do I need to install first?

    ========================================================================
    No installed SSL libraries found in any of the following places.
    /local
    /local/ssl
    /opt/ssl
    /usr
    /usr/local
    /usr/local/ssl
    /usr/local/openssl
    You will have to either specify a directory location at the following
    prompt, or rerun the Makefile.PL program and use the –lib switch
    to specify the path. If the path in question is considered standard
    on your platform, please consider filing a bug report in order to
    have it taken into account in a subsequent version of Crypt::SSLeay.

    Which SSL install path do you want to use? /usr/local
    /usr/local does not appear to be an SSL library installation, since
    the required header files were not found. The build cannot proceed.
    Running make test
    Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won’t test
    Running make install
    Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won’t install

    Not sure. I’m assuming that you’ve already installed the Mac developer CD and have XCode, … already installed. If not, you should do that first.
