Trying to install DBD::mysql on my Mac Sierra computer running mysql v 5.7.17. Getting the following error when trying to install with "cpanm install DBD::mysql": Checking if libs are available for compiling... Can't link/include C library 'ssl', 'crypto', aborting.

You don't seem to have the libssl header files on your system. I recommend you'd install them using homebrew (https://brew.sh/). Once you have homebrew set up, you can simply do brew install openssl and you'd be good. By the way, you'd also need libmysqlclient which you can install using brew as well: brew install mysql-connector-c Hope this helps! -- Michiel

I did already have openssl installed with homebrew but, from what I gather, homebrew no longer links it because Apple has superseded openssl with it's own encryption library. Installing mysql-connector-c did the trick. I had to do "brew uninstall mysql" first because it conflicted with mysql-connector-c. You may want to add that clarification into the doc. So now, if I wanted to get mysql back on my machine, I can just uninstall mysql-connector-c and reinstall mysql with homebrew?
