+$Id$
+
+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
+ OpenSSL 0.9.8e source openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz
+ Dynamic linking to SSL DLLs
+
+Install all packages in the order listed above
+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
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ nmake
+ copy c:\OpenSSL\bin\*.dll blib\arch\auto\Net\SSLeay\
+ nmake test
+ nmake install
+
+3. Windows XP SP2 CAUTION: this is not working yet
+ ActivePerl 5.8.8.820

+ OpenSSL 0.9.8e source openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz
+ Dynamic linking to SSL DLLs
+
+- Install all packages in the order listed above (make sure you follow the
+ instructions on the download page about adding the appropriate paths to the

+- cd Net-SSLeay-xxxx
+- perl Makefile.PL
+- nmake
+- copy c:\OpenSSL\bin\*.dll blib\arch\auto\Net\SSLeay\
