I seem to be in a circular reference in my brain...
The instructions for LWP state that I need to use NET::SSLeay.pm. OK.
This is no problem.

However, when I get NET::SSLeay it says that I need Eric Young's
implementation version SSLeay-0.6.1 which I have not been able to find on
CPAN. There is a module named SSLeay.pm in the NET::SSLeay distribution
but it is version 0.04. Is there someplace else to get SSLeay-0.6.1?

Thanks for your time,
