Guys,
	I've said this 6 times now, and I'll say it again. Unless you are 
using binaries such as a custom mod_ssl or a custom OpenSSH that uses 
Dynamically Linked Libraries, you -DO NOT NEED- to install the OpenSSL 
0.9.7 RPM that I posted. If you do not know what a Dynamically Linked 
Library is, then you DO NOT NEED the OpenSSL 0.9.7 RPM.
	Secondly, if you compare the files in the openssl-perl rpm with 
the files in the openssl rpm that I produced, you will see that the files 
provided by the openssl-perl rpm are included in the 0.9.7 rpm. Do you 
need them? I don't know, but they are there.
