If I comment out some of the openssl calls, the CRYPTO_malloc leak goes away, but the perl one is still there. How would I find out what part of my XS code
is causing that leak?

That's precisely the leak that I've never been able to eliminate. I've reduced it to a small distro, and verified it using a debugging Perl 5.8.8. I'm in the process of building a current blead and attempting to duplicate it there.
