Attempting to make the Net::SSLeay module in the normal fashion
(perl Makefile.pl/make) causes:

First, explanation as to these odd warnings? Has Red Hat compiled OpenSSL and Perl
with different compiler than is present in Shrike? Why the warning about pod2man,
which is indeed in /usr/bin/pod2man and the path?
On to the first make attempt:

When I tried this (unfortunately, I am unaware of the other "choices"),
the following happens:

Am I missing some *optional* Red Hat components that are required to build
*standard* Perl CPAN modules (or set up the locale to do so, which is in
practice the same thing) or what?
According to the Net::SSLeay documentation:

Clearly there seems to me a difference of opinion between this and Red Hat's views. I
am only concerned with whether or not it is going to be fixed; otherwise the company
I work for will have to, evidently, shift to another still-compatable distribution.
