Re: lwp and https

when I tried installing Crypt-SSLeay I got this error message:

PPM> install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/Crypt-SSLeay

'http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/Crypt-SSLeay'
: Could not locate a PPD file for package
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackag
es/Crypt-SSLeay

my ActivePerl is build 5.6.1.633 and I'm running  windowsXP pro.
Net_SSLeay.pm installed, but I can't get it to work. Here's the code I
tried:

use Net::SSLeay, qw(post_https make_form);

($page, $response, %reply_headers)
= post_https('secure.mysite.net', 443, '/test.dll', '',
make_form(test=>'true',=>'True',test2'alsoTrue'));


print $response;

I watch my modem and it's not even trying to send.  Using Crypt::SSLeay was
easy because I just had to use the lwp calls, but how does this work?
