Just thought I’d post that I’ve created two new phpld directories that may be of use to people – particulary SEO types.

I’ve been messing around trying to get DBD::Google install on perl via Cpan – but it was just failing every time…

Tracking the error back revealed that it was Net::SSLeay that was at fault – I tried to install it numerous times, but it kept coming up with an error;
Running install for module 'Net::SSLeay'
Running make for F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.36.tar.gz
Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Net-SSLeay-1.36-xtsjC4
Could not make: Unknown error
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible


Anyway – after a lot of digging – it turns out that SSLeay has OS dependancies – these are;

libnet-ssleay-perl
libnet-https-any-perl
libssl-dev

Once these are install – you can go back to perl cpan and the modules installs like normal.. Phew!

Just thought I’d post on here about a new site I’m working on – I’ve put it live but there are still some bits that need fixing. The site is about rainwater recycling which I’ve been investigating recently. Basically it has info about tanks, pumps and how best to collect water and then recycle it around your house to save water, the environment and hopefully a bit of cash from your pocket!!

Anyway – it’s available at RainWaterTanks.org.uk.
