[the] Code Girl (aka UnrulyGrrl)

I recently installed Crypt::SSLeay and had a strange result: any script that uses that module would get a Segmentation Fault when it hit a certain point. I found another person complaining about this and the suggestion was downgrading OpenSSL. I did that, and it didn;t work. I upgraded to 0.9.8b and that didnt work.

Finally, I converted the .deb file for openssl to a tarball (using alien) and extracted it into a subdirectory in my personal home dir. I then re-installed Crypt::SSLeay and pointed it to my subdir to link against for OpenSSL. No more seg faults!
