in reply to Install seems impossible!

This is not a problem with CPAN or the Perl modules themselves but with your installation of the OpenSSL libraries and includes I would guess, it is possible you haven't installed the appropriate openssl-devel package or that you have somehow got incompatible versions on your machine.

    Agreed. But...
    I just installed the same modules in a freshly built Redhat 9 box.
    Same error.
    I'll "embed" the RSA errors here...

      Er, this is a completely different set of probably unrelated errors. Some the dependencies are missing - you need to install Crypt::Random and Crypt::Primes. Bear in mind there is nothing magical about the CPAN module that will examine the module you are installing and determine the dependencies, the author of the module has to explicitly state them in the Makefile.PL

        Won't the CPAN shell install it automatically?
        It installed other, more bigger modules, like Math::Pari without any hazard...
