Two minor runtime tools use perl: c_rehash and CA.pl . You can easily enough accomplish the functionality
of these tools without perl if you need it.

Moving to Windowsville. Haven't been there in over a decade. Read INSTALL.W32 and INSTALL.W64. Read Configure. Read crypto/asm/*.pl. Clearly Perl is needed to compile openssl with Visual Studio - which we will be using. Does OpenSSL need Perl at runtime? Thanks, Mike
