Some users of this module have had issues installing, mainly through the complications of needing SSL and Crypt::SSLeay. Hopefully this file will help the Windows users out. Here are the steps that I follow to install Mail::Webmail::Gmail on a Windows XP machine. 1) Install activestate perl (5.8) 2) Install the windows version of openSSL - http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html 3) Install the ppm of Crypt::SSLeay by typing the following at a command prompt ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd 4) Install nmake if you dont already have it - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084 5) Install Mail::Webmail::Gmail by typing the following at a command prompt perl -MCPAN -e "install Mail::Webmail::Gmail"
