This might be the kind of thing that happens with openssl system libraries
get updated incorrectly.  You might try this from the README INSTALL notes
for Crypt::SSLeay:

       If you are planning on upgrading the default OpenSSL libraries on a
       system like RedHat, not that I would recommend this, then you might try
       something like:

         > ./config --openssldir=/usr --shared

Personally, I would recommending building a new openssl into /usr/local
and using that one.

Josh
