Trying to install DBD::mysql on my Mac Sierra computer running mysql v 5.7.17. Getting the following error when trying to install with cpanm install DBD::mysql:

Checking if libs are available for compiling... Can't link/include C library 'ssl', 'crypto', aborting.

Other solutions I have found so far don't address this issue with Sierra.

You can pass libs and cflags arg to help Makefile.PL find the libaries on the machine (in my case the openssl libraries were installed with homebrew):

cpanm --configure-args="--libs='-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17/lib' --cflags='-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17/include/mysql'" DBD::mysql
