What would cause SSL requests to segfault

Hi,

I'm trying to use the example of :

lwp-request https://www.nodeworks.com


When it segfaults. I've tried to re-install a few things like
openssl (Version 0.9.8b_1), Crypt::SSLeay (Version 0.51) and
libwww (Version 5.805). But I still get it.

It seems to show via a backtrace :

#0 0x2833029d in SSL_CTX_ctrl () from /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.4
#1 0x28302798 in XS_Crypt__SSLeay__CTX_new ()
from /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/ SSLeay.so

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks, Tuc

Um... :-/ Probably. I didn't think to mention about the
compiler warnings... Some packages are fine having them.

I did the change mentioned (all to ssl), recompiled (Got
pretty much the same warnings) , reinstalled and now it works!

Is this going to be in a new version soon? Or should I submit
a fix to the FreeBSD ports for now?

Thanks, Tuc

I have no idea if there will be a fixed version on CPAN. I tried to=20

problem about 3 months ago, but didn=B4t receive any response.
I think I saw some info about a non-maintainer-upload on CPAN but you=20
should verify that.
Regarding FreeBSD: I=B4m using Linux or Solaris and have no idea how=20

Re: What would cause SSL requests to segfault

is anyone working on getting this fix into cpan? given the importance
of Crypt::SSLeay, this is a serious problem. if no one is already
working on it, im willing to give it a go.
