Subject: Detect multiple OpenSSL installations
It would be very helpful if Makefile.PL could detect that there are multiple OpenSSL installations and prompt for which one to use. I have to install this module manually on various machines, because I have the OS-provided old version of OpenSSL and the latest version which I've installed in /usr/local. Crypt::SSLeay has code in its Makefile.PL that you could re-use :-)

Hi, Dont forget you can use OPENSSL_PREFIX environment variable to specify which openssl to use: OPENSSL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ssl perl Makefile.PL Cheers.

Yeah, that's what I did once I'd realised what went wrong :-) I install modules using the cpan shell, so unless I know/remember to set this before starting the shell, then I'm stuck. Thanks
