The output to the terminal is too long, so i just put the important part

I need to install this module in order to run nikto with SSL. According to nikto docs i could either install Net::SSL or Net::SSLeay.

When i try to install Net::SSL i get as well the error above, but when doing so with Net::SSLeay everything sees fine in the output.

But running r in the cpan shell does not show any module seemed to Net::SSLeay

Too i tried to run it with sudo but it says :

sudo: cpan: command not found

This is because i have perl or cpan (i dont know) installed locally

What can i do ?

• linux
• perl
• cpan

• Note that there is no install command to cpan. It's just cpan Crypt::SSLeay. I've fixed that for you in the question. – brian d foy Commented Jan 21 at 7:01
• thanks @briandfoy, did not noticed it – rustymanito Commented Jan 21 at 14:26

1 Answer 1

I already fixed it.

After having installed cpanm was capable of installing Net::SSLeay

cpanm --notest Net::SSLeay
