Hi,

I asked here a few days ago how to make curl invoke an https url and it
works fine, thank you.
Seing what curl was able to do I wanted to get a tool in order to
request urls composed via the most simple interface within the terminal
where i could input values to request. Some of terminal https client.
Decided to choose perl as there is a lot of stuff ready to build and
got on an horrible mess because I update perl 5.6 built in for 5.8
mucho meilleure.
 From there i have read your explanation that the built in curl is not
the good one, opened as session as root in aqua mode and copied
/sw/lib/include/curl/ directory at /usr/lib/include/ place. Sacrilege ..

But it did not worked. It goes much further but I'm still stopped :

> cpan> install WWW::Curl
> Running install for module WWW::Curl
> Running make for C/CR/CRISB/WWW-Curl-2.0.tar.gz
> Is already unwrapped into directory
> /Users/ld/.cpan/build/WWW-Curl-2.0
> Has already been processed within this session
> Running make test
> PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"

> Testing curl version libcurl/7.10.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7a ipv6 zlib/1.1.3
> t/00constants.............ok
> t/01basic.................ok 1/6

There I have been obliged to ctrl-c to make it stops. It was just
blinking and waiting, if i make return it goes on saying things are
wrong so Ctrl-C to stop everything seemed me better ...

[Mymac/] ld% curl -V
curl 7.10.3 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.6) libcurl/7.10.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
ipv6 zlib/1.1.3

So i decided to download last curl archive and discovered it could not
go through all tests

Maybe i should just place new version /usr/local/include ?

Could be ..

And it could be a wrong thing to do ?

I have read pdf, INSTALL README, i have tried the exemples config --

> [/Temp_Items/curl-7.10.8-pre1] ld% curl-confg --libs
> curl-confg: Command not found.
> [/Temp_Items/curl-7.10.8-pre1] ld% curl-config --libs
> -L/sw/lib -lcurl -L/sw/lib -lz -ldl -lz
> [/Temp_Items/curl-7.10.8-pre1] ld% curl-config --cflags
>
> [/Temp_Items/curl-7.10.8-pre1] ld% curl-config --cflags
>

I'm afraid it's over me ..

so long ...

Maybe ...
I tried to run cpan archive that was the beginning ..
> WWW-Curl-2.0.tar.gz
> Is already unwrapped into directory
> /Users/ld/.cpan/build/WWW-Curl-2.0
so moved to WWW-curl directory
and edit Makefile in wich i found :
> # Get curl to tell us where it is, if we can
> #
> my $cflags = `curl-config --cflags`;
> my $lflags = `curl-config --libs`;

And i know the answer in config --test which was not the good one :
> [/Temp_Items/curl-7.10.8-pre1] ld% curl-config --libs
> -L/sw/lib -lcurl -L/sw/lib -lz -ldl -lz
> [/Temp_Items/curl-7.10.8-pre1] ld% curl-config --cflags
> -- no answer ..

That could be the point ? should be /usr/lib/ ?

tia for help if you can. now i need to wait your answer and leave a bit
that screen,

btw : python would not be more appropriated ? did not try that ..
