| Subject: | "-lcrypto -lssl" doesn't always find the OpenSSL libs |
Hi,
On MS Windows, instead of "-lcrypto -lssl" we might need to link to "-leay32 -lssl32". (For example, this is the case with Strawberry Perl - though, for my Windows perls, "-lcrypto -lssl" is needed.)
This patch to the Makefile.PL should portably fix the issue:

It makes use of the ExtUtils::MakeMaker feature that removes links to libraries that are not locatable.
