If you're looking for something to use *today*, Crypt-SSLeay-0.06
(in CPAN) and SSLeay-0.6.6 (from ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSL/)
work well together -- the sample perl SSL web client in the README
works fine. But there is no guarantee that future versions of
the perl SSL module or SSLeay distribution will have the same interface...
On my test machine, LWP 5.20 (with the above modules installed) correctly
retrieved pages from an SSL web server. (LWP 5.22 and 5.30 probably
work too, but I didn't try)
