Net::SSLeay won't install

Question

cpan Net::SSLeay

Running install for module 'Net::SSLeay'
Running make for M/MI/MIKEM/Net-SSLeay-1.55.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Net-SSLeay-1.55-v9rgJp
Could not make: Unknown error
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

I have installed all libs of this post: install perl module Net::SSLeay through cpan

I also tryed to install it manually and during make command I had this log:

Answer 1

Some CPAN modules require the C-header files to compile successfully. They end with -dev. These are not normally package with the OS. For Net::SSLeay you'll need to install libssl-dev.

For Debian distros: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
