Warning: This post is long and no speel chicked :)

XS extension dlls export a single entrypoint of the form: boot_package_name. In order for that to be exported, a .def file containg that information must be supplied to the linker. If you look in the directory where you built the package, you should see it. And it should look like this:

C:\Perl510\packages\Crypt-SSLeay-0.57>type ssleay.def
LIBRARY "SSLeay"
EXPORTS
  boot_Crypt__SSLeay
  _boot_Crypt__SSLeay = boot_Crypt__SSLeay
[download]

The error message you listed above is indicative that the dll was built without that information and so that entrypoint was not exported and so could not be found.

But I am surprised you are getting that far. When I try to build it using the makefile produced by makefile.pl I get:

Amd if you take a look at the link command line that I wrapped and put between ***s above, you'll see that nowhere were ssleay32.lib or libeay32.lib mentioned. This despite the fact that makefile.pl noted the following information:

BUILD INFORMATION

Now that may be because I just installed the latest version of openssl and it doesn't contain those libraries in that path. It contains libraries in paths below that:

And if I c&p the link command from above and add references to

c:\OpenSSL\lib\VC\libeay32MT.lib
c:\OpenSSL\lib\VC\ssleay32MT.lib
[download]

it now builds and tests correctly.

Then the problem is that when I type nmake install, it insists installing the files into my perl 5.8 directory rather than Perl5.10. despite that I used perl510 when runninh makefile.pl:

And have ensured that neither my path, nor environment have any mention of my perl5.8 direcotries. Where it picks that information up from is beyond my powers of reasoning. Trying to backtrack and unwind the whole makefile.pl/EU::MM fiasco is just to difficult.

It is just easier to do thing manually:

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."
