That's true that this error means an upgrade is required. That shouldn't have happened, though; in making up the uwinnipeg ppm packages, I use a Win32 perl-5.8.0, which should make binary-compatible packages for any perl-5.8.x, so that such upgrades aren't demanded. However, I may have neglected to do so for this particular package when I recently upgraded the ssl dll libraries. I've just uploaded a Net_SSLeay.pm ppm package compiled against perl-5.8.0, which should be OK with any later perl; if not, could you let me know? Installing this package may require uninstallation of the original, as the version hasn't changed. Also, the ssl dlls are the same as before, so if you installed those earlier, you don't need to reinstall them.
