Problem installing Perl's Crypt::SSLeay on Solaris 10

I'm trying to install the Crypt::SSLeay perl module and it keeps failing.

Perl is v5.8.8; Solaris is 5.10 and is on Intel hardware.

I'm using the CPAN module to attemp开发者_StackOverflowt the install and the problems start when it gets to the 'make test' stage:

Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/00-basic......1/12
#   Failed test 'use Crypt::SSLeay;'
#   in t/00-basic.t at line 6.
#     Tried to use 'Crypt::SSLeay'.
#     Error:  Can't load '/.cpan/build/Crypt-SSLeay-0.58-tvJe1E/blib/arch/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.so' for module Crypt::SSLeay: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i86pc-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
#  at (eval 3) line 2
# Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 2.
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/00-basic.t line 6.

I've verified that ld.so.1 and libssl.so.0.9.8 both exist and as far I can tell, OpenSSL is installed (pkginfo shows 'OpenSSL Libraries (Usr)').

Anyone have any thoughts on what the problem may be?

Elsewhere we figured out that the directory containing the SSL library files was not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The solution was:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/ssl/lib

which is the library location reported by Makefile.PL.

I will add a note to the documentation and Makefile.PL output.

Thank you for your report and providing detailed information that enabled me to finally figure out what was going on with those test failures as well.

Now, I need to figure out how to ensure that the test scripts run with the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
