I am actually just releasing a Perl CPAN module.  I doubt that anyone
will package it specifically t this point.  My question is more around
is there anything that I can/should be doing to ensure that the
correct openssl version is picked by default.  That is, the one that
will allow its library to be loaded dynamically at run-time.

I will take a look to see if any of the options work for me.  As a
general  CPAN module I need to ensure that what I do will not break
things for other operating systems but I have some ability to target
things.
