Hi,
I figured out my own question - hope this may help someone else...
I found the reference to the SSLeay.pm (Eric Robert's) at:
ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSL
in the documentation at:
http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/Net_SSLeay.pm/SSLeay.html
in the SEE ALSO section at the bottom of the document.
Sincerely,
Christopher Taranto
