in reply to Should I recompile SSL CPAN modules now?

IO::Socket::SSL depends on Net::SSLeay which actually wraps OpenSSL so if you can get Net::SSLeay rebuilt I think you should be alright. I haven't looked that deeply. Some monk surely knows more.

    Unless you build statically linked versions it should be enough to just install a patched openssl shared library (libssl.so, libcrypto.so). If you are not sure you might check with strace on linux, e.g.:
    $ strace -e open perl -MNet::SSLeay .... open("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 + + open("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) += 3
    If you see these libs loaded dynamically all is fine and you just need to replace them by installing the updated libssl package.
