in thread HSTS policy breaks cpan utility on Windows
Couldn't "Configure" just test for the availability of a compatible SSL library and build/install/test the SSL modules only if the system has one of those libs?
The problem with not having SSL from the start is sort of a big one: The first time you use CPAN, you are doing it from an untrusted source that makes it easy to MITM attack.
perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
