I seem to recall that indeed LWP tries IO::Socket::SSL first, and if this fails, tries to use Crypt::SSLeay directly.

But as already mentioned, Strawberry usually comes with all the libraries it needs if you either install the .msi file or the portable edition. The latter helps a lot if you want to run different versions of Strawberry perl on your system, otherwise, the library paths will most likely get mixed up.

In my installation (portable, 5.26.2.1, 64bit) I have a c\bin\libssl-1_1-x64__.dll and ...libcrypto-1_1-x64__.dll as OpenSSL libraries, plus a bunch of Perl wrapper DLLs in perl\vendor\lib\auto\Crypt\OpenSSL\* plus perl\vendor\lib\auto\Crypt\SSLeay.xs.dll. Maybe the road to success is just to re-install Strawberry?
