To Sampo & the maintainer of SSLeay.pm in openssl,

I recently proposed a Crypt::OpenSSL that would continue the work
of Gisle Aas in Crypt::SSLeay and keep it current with openssl releases.
The primary goal of this is to keep Net::SSL functional, as this is 
the underlying module in the LWP/Protocol/https library, which
allows scripts like lwp-request in perl to easily download https pages.

It seems that either SSLeay.pm in the openssl distribution
or Sampo's Net::SSLeay could easily take over the Net::SSL module
that Crypt::SSLeay currently implements.  

Keeping Net::SSL current is the primary goal here, and where it
ends up does not seem to be important.  If it doesn't end up having
a happy home in SSLeay or Net::SSLeay, I'd probably like to 
create a stand-alone module Net::SSL, instead of keeping it
wrapped up in Crypt::SSLeay, which is a deprecated interface anyway.

Sampo, I think Net::SSLeay should implement Net::SSL, since it has all
the components built already to do so, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks,

Joshua
