Amazon SES setup problems

Question

I'm running into an unexpected amount of difficulty trying to use ses-verify-email-address. I am using Ubuntu Hardy on AWS with Perl 5.8.8.

After copying the Perl scripts and creating a key file, I got a "command not found" error. Then I installed the files mentioned in the SES README - Digest::SHA, URI::Escape, Bundle::LWP, MIME::Base64, Crypt::SSLeay and XML::LibXML. It's not obvious that these installed correctly and now when I run ses-verify-email-address.pl, I get the message "LWP will support https URLs if the LWP::Protocol::https module is installed."

I've been using Python and know nothing about Perl.

Answer 1

Install LWP::Protocol::https.

See What's the easiest way to install a missing Perl module? from the SO Perl FAQ, How to install CPAN modules on CPAN, and perlmodinstall in the Perl documentation.
