Compiling SSL support for Activestate perl is no fun task. I tried it one day (and succeeded) but it was still a pain and took the entire day. Thanks go to John Bokma for making it as easy as

ppm> install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

I haven’t verified that it works, but if somebody does please let me know!

Update - Confirmed, it works!
