For example for Debian based distributions (Ubuntu...):
Code: Select all
apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl
More generally, it is also possible to install this module without using the system package manager, by using the Perl "cpan" tool:
No idea why, but in Ubuntu (recently upgraded to 21.04) neither apt-get nor cpan was able to build the required IO::Socket::SSL.
After trying it with cpan (After Silentwings told me that TSL wasn't working on my end, I wasn't getting any SPADS errors when trying to connect), I saw errors with Net::SSLeay, which is required by IO::Socket::SSL.
cpan wouldn't compile it after giving me some warnings, so I tried to compile it manually, according to:

Then finally
worked! Victory!

That's strange, apt-get shouldn't even need to build anything, it should just download and install Perl modules and associated pre-compiled binaries for your distribution...
What error did you get with apt-get ?

Ah, maybe there is a problem with the current default Net::SSLeay version of your distribution, which is only fixed on the latest release that you used when compiling manually?
Thanks for the information.

Another year, another "IO::Socket::SSL" Perl module error. At least in this latest Ubuntu version (24.04 LTS) the issue was easier to work out, that's what I did:
Code: Select all
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
--- will start perl
install CPAN
reload cpan
install Net::SSLeay
install IO::Socket::SSL

What exactly happened when you tried the normal way ? (i.e. "sudo apt install libio-socket-ssl-perl")
