I have been a Perl guy for 30+ years and have had the great idea to upgrade the Perl version of my large Perl APP to 5.40; after a lot of fiddeling around and overriding some Makefile.PL files I got the code and all required libraries to work on an AlmaLinux 9.4. Hoewever I am stuck on getting it to run locally on MacOS 14.5.

The two libraries currently roadblocking are Net::SSL and DBD::MariaDB. I am not fluent enough in C to understand how and if I can get things sorted; anyone able to help? Full compile errors below.

Net::SSL

Found libraries 'ssl, crypto, z' *** THIS IS NOT AN ERROR, JUST A MESSAGE FOR YOUR INFORMATION *** Do you really need Crypt::SSLeay? Starting with version 6.02 of LWP, https support was unbundled into LWP::Protocol::https. This module specifies as one of its prerequisites IO::Socket::SSL which is automatically used by LWP::UserAgent unless this preference is overridden separately. IO::Socket::SSL is a more complete implementation, and, crucially, it allows hostname verification. Crypt::SSLeay does not support this. At this point, Crypt::SSLeay is maintained to support existing software that already depends on it. However, it is possible that your software does not really depend on Crypt::SSLeay, only on the ability of LWP::UserAgent class to communicate with sites over SSL/TLS. If are using version LWP 6.02 or later, and therefore have installed LWP::Protocol::https and its dependencies, and do not explicitly use Net::SSL before loading LWP::UserAgent, or override the default socket class, you are probably using IO::Socket::SSL and do not really need Crypt::SSLeay. Before installing Crypt::SSLeay, you may want to try specifying a dependency on LWP::Protocol::https. ================================================================================ Output from '/Users/administrator/.cpanm/work/1721974215.35063/Crypt-SSLeay-0.72/openssl-version': OpenSSL 3.3.1 4 Jun 2024 30300010 ================================================================================ Checking if your kit is complete...

Can one explain why perl is not as admired or desired as bash?
