Installing SDK PERL client in Windows 8 64bit ActivePerl environment

Question

I have a fairly well developed PERL environment on a 64-bit Windows 8 box with hooks into a few other APIs, AD, databases, etc... I would like to add SW to the list. Can't seem to get all the dependencies installed via PPM. Got as far as:

Can't locate object method "ssl_opts" via package "SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client" at C:\Perl64\scripts\sw_sdk\sdktest.pl line 15, <STDIN> line 1.

Don't see SOAP::Transport::HTTP in PPM. I am on ver 5.12. Is this going to work? Sort of looks like I need 32-bit ver 5.8.

Try commenting that line out. Some versions of libwww-perl don't validate hostnames by default anyway. To test this, I used 64-bit ActiveState Perl 5.12 with requisite packages installed. I got the same error you did. After commenting out the ssl_opts line in the script, it worked correctly.
