Start CPAN and install additional modules by typing following commands in the Cygwin terminal.
export FTP_PASSIVE="1" perl -MCPAN -e shell
Now, you will see the "cpan>" prompt. Install the required modules by typing the following commands:
install Archive::Zip install XML::Parser
- SSLeay Installation
- Download the SSLeay installation tarball from here and extract to C:\ or to a preferred location of yours.
- Open another Cygwin terminal and go to the folder you have extracted and install the SSLeay module by typing
cd /cygdrive/c/Crypt-SSLeay-0.07 export SHELL=cmd.exe perl Makefile.PL
- You will now be asked for the location of the SSLeay source. Type in the location of the folder where you have extracted the folder.
Which SSLeay do you want to link against? /cygdrive/c/Crypt-SSLeay-0.07
