Perhaps `openssl version` is what you need. It looks like the format is
consistently simple across time:
OpenSSL 1.0.1t 3 May 2016
OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
Extract the \d+\.\d+\.\d+ bit and compare it to the minimum acceptable
in Makefile.PL, and exit(0) before writing Makefile if it's too ancient.
