[cobalt-security] SSLeay installation

[johnm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi there,

I've been monitoring the list for some time and have a question that I 
think fits into the security '"mould", if not I apologise.

I'm running a RaQ4i and have a web hosting client that needs to use the 
Net::SSLeay perl module to access the credit card processor that he has 
signed up with,  This is not installed on the server and I have downloaded 
the module from the relevent web site.

However when I try :- ./Makefile.PL -t

I get the following :-

Checking for OpenSSL-0.9.6c or newer...
You have OpenSSL-0.9.6b installed in /usr
openssl-0.9.6a and some earlier versions have weaknesses and also 0.9.6b 
has some (nonfatal) bugs (read CHANGES file in the openssl-0.9.6c 
distribution, www.openssl.org), upgrading to openssl-0.9.6c is 
recommended.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lssl

Has anyone else installed this module and if so can you give me some hints 
?

Is the upgrade to openssl-0.9.6c recommended, and if so will it interfer 
with the rest of the Raq ?

Regards

John
