Hi Shlomi; Apparently the Crypt::SSLeay module won't install for my protection (HeartBleed?), but it is still a required prerequisite for WWW::Salesforce. I tried to follow the hints provided which suggested installing other modules which would provide the required basis for WWW::Salesforce without using Crypt::SSLeay, but it appears that trying to install WWW::Salesforce using cpanm still requires Crypt::SSLeay. So, perhaps if I have alternatives installed that installing WWW::Salesforce using cpan or just directly installing it will now work? It would be nice if the prerequisites could some how be updated for WWW::Salesforce so that one can have the functionality needed without the risk of installing a known vulnerability. I'm also trying to grok why it might not be a good idea to use the Perl provided by the Mac OS (El Capitan) and use perlbrew instead. Using perlbrew itself won't solve the problem I have with WWW::Salesforce depending on a vulnerable module which I am unable to substitute because the prerequisites force it to be used but it won't install (endless circle of frustration here). A painful workaround is to ssh to a Linux (CentOS) system that has the WWWW::Salesforce Perl module already installed and in use for other things, call a routine at that location and bring the resultant data back to be used locally.
