That worked!!
I'm glad it worked for you. I see that your install is looking for OpenSSL under /usr/local/lib. Perhaps you could succeed by telling the installer to look under /usr/lib instead.
The look command from the CPAN module, allows you to manually look into a distribution. It is useful for complex installations. Indeed, I wanted to take a look at Net::SSLeay since I've never installed it and I assumed you followed the standard recipe. 99% of the time, you can issue the more standard install command.
