The telling part is most likely this: ".....Can't locate Net/SSLeay.pm" Make sure you have "make", "openssl" (the development version which has all the libs for developers), and "gcc" installed first (the linux packages). Then you can preemptively, from a perl cpan shell run "install Net::SSLeay" to be sure it installs properly. If it is installed as a dependency of IO::Socket::SSL you might miss the log info as it scrolls by. Then try to install IO::Socket::SSL. I hope this helps.
