Hello,
in order to use the libcurl Perl binding, I have installed curl 7.9.8 and the
curl-devel 7.9.8 as rpm. After creating the makefile of WWW-Curl with
Makefile.PL, the execution of "make" types out the following:

cannot find -lssl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/WWW/Curl/Curl.so] Error 1

Why that? I'm using SuSE 8.1 and perl 5.8
Thanks,
Thomas
