How can I install Net::SSLeay with perlbrew in macOS Catalina? - perl

Question

I am trying to install Net::SSLeay perl package on Mac OSX Catalina using perlbrew cpanm and failing due to openssl related issues.
I tried all of the bellow solutions to no avail:
cmake - osx/mac - openssl brew

I have open ssl latest and added the suggested exports to my .zshrc
I added these to .zshrc:
# Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: openssl#1.1
# If you need to have openssl#1.1 first in your PATH run:
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/bin:$PATH"
# For compilers to find openssl#1.1 you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/include"
# For pkg-config to find openssl#1.1 you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/lib/pkgconfig"
the basic failure is:

Answer 1

Finally after much fiddling I found this post:
OSX Catalina work around
I uninstalled latest perlversion:
perlbrew uninstall perl-5.30.1
Then I ran this script
#!/usr/bin/env bash
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
echo "$0 is running from: $DIR"
# make this file's location working dir
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
v='perl-5.30.1'
perl_versions=$(perlbrew list)
echo "perl_versions $perl_versions"
if [[ "$perl_versions" == *"$v"* ]]; then
echo "$v is installed in perlbrew."
else
echo "$v is not!!! installed in perlbrew. installing ...."
perlbrew install perl-5.30.1 --notest --force
fi
current_perl_version=$(which perl)
echo "current_perl_version: $current_perl_version"
if [[ "$current_perl_version" == *"$v"* ]]; then
echo "$v is current version."
else
echo "$v is not current version."
perlbrew switch $v

During the Net::SSLeay installation I was prompted for manual confirmation for tests dependant on network connectivity and answered y. If anyone knows auto-approve in perlbrew please post a comment, A quick scower of perlbrew -h wasn't informative as to auto approve options at first glance.

Answer 2

I tried this on macOS Catalina (note my shell is bash and not the default zsh):
brew install openssl
\curl -L https://install.perlbrew.pl | bash
After perlbrew is installed, edit ~/.bash_profile :
source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/include"
Then save, and execute
$ source ~/.bash_profile
$ perlbrew install-cpanm
$ perlbrew install perl-5.30.1 --notest
$ perlbrew switch perl-5.30.1
$ cpanm Net::SSLeay

So my guess would be that the issue is related to zsh, since I used bash and you used zsh.
