This is part of the openssl-devel package:
/usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl
the 'ca' man page has a useful example.

So, if you want to see what was run when the package was insstalled:
rpm -q --scripts package_name
and look at the "post-install" script.
For instance (for the package 'php'):
$ rpm -q --scripts php
postinstall script (through /bin/sh):
ln -s /usr/share/doc/php-4.0.4pl1 /var/www/html/addon-modules/php
chown apache.apache /var/www/html/addon-modules/php
ldconfig
postuninstall script (through /bin/sh):
rm -f /var/www/html/addon-modules/php
ldconfig
This means that the script that was run was:
ln -s /usr/share/doc/php-4.0.4pl1 /var/www/html/addon-modules/php
chown apache.apache /var/www/html/addon-modules/php
ldconfig
WARNING: running that script a second time as-is may not work, and may
even cause damage to the system. Don't run as root any command that you
don't know what it is doing.
(For instance: re-runing that 'ln -s' command will probably create another
link that was not required)
