I had to do some development in perl that requied scrubbing a HTTPS page. I ran into an issue when I moved the script from the laptop to the production solaris server that it was not able to process the HTTPS page. Digging down a little deeper, I realized I never installed one of the required SSL modules for perl to allow libwww modules to connect to https pages.
You could actually use either Crypt::SSLeay or IO::Socket::SSL (which also required Net::SSLeay). I decided to install them all to be on the safe side. Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL had no problems, but when I tried to make Crypt::SSLeay, I ran into an issue.
When I tried to make the Makefile, I did the following:
root@appsrv /opt/downloads/cpan/Crypt-SSLeay-0.55 # perl Makefile.PL
Skipping testcover target, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Coverage not found
=======================================================
Only one OpenSSL installation found at /usr/local/ssl
Consider running ‘perl Makefile.PL –default’ the next
time Crypt::SSLeay is upgraded to select this directory
automatically thereby avoiding the following prompt.

I checked and made sure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH had the openssl libraries in it, which it did. I then went into the generated Makefile and changed line 147 from
INC = -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl
to
INC = -I/usr/local/ssl/include
Which fixed the problem. I was then able to make and install the module.
