G'day monsignor,

Welcome to the Monastery.

"... I wouldn't have had a clue what module to install ..."

For future reference, your best sources for this type of information are files with names like README and INSTALL in the distribution.

In this instance, the "Prerequisites" section of https://metacpan.org/release/CHRISN/Net-SSLeay-1.92/source/README includes: 

...
* libssl-dev for OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu;
...
* zlib1g-dev on Debian and Ubuntu;
...

[download]

The main module documentation may also help; however, in this case, the "Net::SSLeay - INSTALLATION" section just points you to the README.
