Hi Man in a van - it turns out I just did this exact thing a few days
ago on my mac, which is currently running Mojave. I assume it's the
exact same process. Since I've been mooching off the expertise of others
in this forum for years now maybe I can actually help!

Well first of all, the version to download is not stated (I'm guessing
that it is 1.1.1)
* I downloaded 1.1.1i  from here:
https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1i.tar.gz

Do I just download to home or make a folder?
* It downloaded a .tar.gz that I double clicked and it created a folder
of the same name. I moved that folder into a temporary directory, but I
don't think it matters - you could leave it in your Downloads folder.

I downloaded and looked at the install notes and I'm not sure if I
should have any tools or dependencies already installed (currently I
have Brew, which I used for lame). 
* I do have brew on this computer but not for perl and I don't think it
matters. All I had to do to install was to open a terminal and "cd" into
the openssl folder and then run the four commands in the INSTALL file
located in the openssl folder. Namely:
$ ./config
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
* this created some new openssl magic in the same path that is
referenced in the CPATH of Tony T's post
* sidebar: I just learned that instead of having to type out the full
path when "cd"-ing, you can type cd and then drag the folder from Finder
into the terminal window and it auto-types the path for you. slick.

It seems that I have to do a git-clone and build.
* I didn't have to use git. I just downloaded open ssl from the link
above (which is referenced here if you don't want to follow the direct
link: https://www.openssl.org/source/   )
* At this point I just followed Tony's post verbatim which the exception
of modifying the path since I do not have another perl on this machine,
or at least I don't think I do. In any case, it worked without modifying
the path for me.
* One other note - when running the make commands (I think it was make
install) it asks some questions about yes/no if you want to do certain
tests. I just chose the default answers or yes if there wasn't a default
and it completed successfully

Regarding the setting of paths, from where in terminal are these
commands issued ?
* I don't think it matters since it is calling out full paths of
everything. I never left the openssl directory when calling these
commands

I guess I don't have to bother about updating Perl ?
* I didn't. I just followed the commands

* After it was done installing I just rebooted and the IO:Socket::SSL
was updated according to the LMS page.

Hope this helps!
