Yewen,
 
   I'm unsure of the machine/OS you're running but I had similar problems. The cure was to install /dev/random. Full details are in the libwww archive somewhere, as I posted the fix to the list.

Subject: openssl + Crypto::SSLeay

I have installed OpenSSL 0.9.5a and Crypto::SSLeay 0.16. When I run net_ssl_test or other scripts
to test, they failed to connect to HTTPS servers.
 
The found those test scripts have established TCP connection to the HTTPS server, but failed to continue SSL conversations
with servers.
 
Further investigation shows that error occurs when PRNG seeding.I guess that OpenSSL API may not be well configured for PRNG seeding.
Or Crypt::SSLeay haven't be configured OK to use OpenSSL API properly.
 
I use EGD as a source of random number on my machine. I have made openssl command line work with it. How do I make OpenSSL API and Crypt::SSLeay work?
 
Thanks for anybody getting me out here.
