Hi, I'm the maintainer for Crypt::SSLeay. Did you read the following part of the documentation?

For Activestate users, the ActiveState company does not have a permit from the Canadian Federal Government to distribute cryptographic software. This prevents Crypt::SSLeay from being distributed as a PPM package from their repository. See http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/5.8/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html#crypto_packages for more information on this issue.

You may download it from Randy Kobes's PPM repository by using the following command:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

An alternative is to add the uwinnipeg.ca PPM repository to your local installation. See http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/faqs/ppm.html for more details.

One other minor detail that many people seem to overlook, it's not actually the module Crypt::SSLeay that is of interest to LWP, but rather the module Net::SSL, which is something that the Crypt-SSLeay distribution contains.

I must admit that I don't know, one way or the other, if you need to have the OpenSSL windows package installed or not. I have it installed anyway, because I test to ensure that the module works with Strawberry Perl. I'll have to remember to de-install OpenSSL at some point on my Windows box and see if Net::SSL works afterwards.
