Sorry for not getting back sooner, but its been a hard
week.  I'm the maintainer of Crypt::SSLeay, and I don't have
a good answer for you.  Its my guess that if 

  SSL_get_verify_result()

where called at some point, that cert verfication would be
established, and this warning would go away.  By not doing
so, I guess, you don't really know that you are talking 
to the true owner of that SSL domain, even though a 
secure connection has been established.

This seems to be an important feature, and if desired,
I could probably get this set up as a config option 
for Crypt::SSLeay's Net::SSL, and make sure it seems
to do the right thing when operating under perl's LWP.
