#Crypt::SSLeay found but failed to load

Hello,

When running the module check I receive this message: ::SSLeayfound, but failed to load: syntax error at (eval 11) line 1, at EOF

As far as I can tell this does not seem to impact anything, but wanted to check.

Any ideas or should I just ignore this?

WebWork 2.14 | PG 2.14 | Ubuntu 16.04.5

I have tried installing/updating:

This will not affect the standard operation of WeBWorK. It might affect it
if you try to use the WeBWorK as webservice features (e.g. using daemon_course to render problems from an ordinary webpage


Crypt::SSLeay is old and problematic, depending on the OS you are using. I have been able to use it on a MacBook. I don't have an Ubuntu installation immediately for testing. It's purpose is to allow https access, so if you are only using http you won't use it at all. There are now better modules to use to provide https access but no-one has had the time to swap them in to replace the use of Crypt::SSLeay

Thanks so much for the fast reply. We are not using any of those features, but we are using HTTPS for normal web usage and access. Have not seen any issues, so I will leave it well enough alone.
