I want to use Crypto::SSLeay or Net::SSLeay for SSL programming on =
HP-UX. Because I don't have /etc/random (some HP-UX guys say there =
really isn't an equivalent of /dev/random on HP-UX). I installed egd.pl =
0.8 instead. Then I executed

egd.pl /etc/entropy
openssl rand -out .rnd -rand /etc/entropy 255
export RANDFILE=3D/usr/local/ssl/.rnd
openssl s_client -connect shop.sol.no:443

Everything's OK. Then I install a perl module Net::SSLeay 1.05. while =
I'm 'making test', it printed

I also installed Crypto::SSLeay 0.16. I went smoothly with "perl =

'net_ssl_test' attached with this package, it gave me

I guess I didn't properly configure random number source of OpenSSL API. =
How can I do?
