1. Windows Server 2003
ActivePerl 5.8.8.820
VC++ 6.0
Microsoft Platform SDK SVR2003R2
Shining Light Win32 OpenSSL 0.9.7L
http://www.shininglightpro.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Dynamic linking to SSL DLLs
Install all packages in the order listed above
Unpack and install the Net-SSLeay package
cd Net-SSLeay-xxxx
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
Caution. There is an issue with Shining Light Win32 OpenSSL 0.9.7m and 0.9.8e
on Server 2003: These versions were built with VC 7.1 and the packages are
missing the 7.1 runtime DLL. This means that the openssl binaries from those
versions will not run on a standard Server 2003 platform, and this prevents
Net-SSLeay being built. Shining Light say this problem will be fixed in later
versions, where they will revert to the earlier build procedures.
2. Windows Server 2003
ActivePerl 5.8.8.820
VC++ 6.0
Microsoft Platform SDK SVR2003R2

Unpack and build OpenSSL:
cd openssl-0.9.8e
perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:/OpenSSL
ms\do_ms
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
(if you have trouble getting to this stage, consult INSTALL.W32)
copy c:\OpenSSL\bin\*.dll c:\windows\system32
Unpack and install the Net-SSLeay package
cd Net-SSLeay-xxxx
