Yes. It is not installed correctly as "make test"
fails.
It is dumping core in SSL_CTX_ctrl(). I tried to debug
it, but then figured out that if you install
Crypt::SSLeay against OpenSSL 0.9.7 then it works. You
specify this when you run "perl Makefile.PL".

It didnt' work against 0.9.8. Maybe someone else can
look into it? 

I don't have time to do more digging. Please excuse
me. 
But I think this should get u going at least.

Girish
