Was the idea of documenting how to get it going on the most common systems using their native package systems dismissed conclusively dismissed as an idea? Beyond that, the only one that made any sense to me was, "try to install Net::SSLeay, but if it fails clean up the mess and move on". Frankly, this is not upstream perl's problem to solve; but efforts can be made to make it an easy "next step" - unless there are cases where it absolutely must be in place? I haven't read the latest 95% of this thread so maybe this was provided?
