Adam,

I had to do a full install of OpenSSL from source code to use
Crypt::SSLeay.
I installed OpenSSL in /usr/local/ssl. It will screw up your current HTTPS
server if you create test certs, so don't. Also, I remember going to the MIT
web site to find the fix for the install error I was getting. Something
about
changing a #define in one of the files to ELF. Probably a lot of other minor
fixes, but nothing to do with our current HTTPS server. After installing
Crypt::SSLeay and OpenSSL our clients can connect to AuthorizeNet and
Bank of America (BOFA) for credit card processing.
