I'm getting the following error when I do:

Here's your answer: Net::SSLeay is too old for IO::Socket::SSL.  You
either need to use cpan or cpanm to install a newer Net::SSLeay, and
then it will work.

Brian,

I already tried to reinstall with cpan/m using -f -i options.  I even removed the PERL5LIB location and reinstalled the packages from scratch to no avail.

This may be a stupid question:
Which perl is in your $PATH ?
What do you get entering
type perl
on the command line ?
/Torsten

```

I was using perlbrew to manage all the perls.  I got so frustrated and decided to 
dump perlbrew and decided to use plenv instead.  I'm not getting the error anymore, 
after switching to plenv everything is working now.
