His own words are:
The patch adds no new functionality (other than a simple test package)
to the libraries, but it allows them to be compiled with Perl5.6.0.
It has only been tested under "Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness)"
with the unpatched verion of OpenSSL 0.9.6 released last September.
under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the whole stuff
is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was added to make
sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the OpenSSL 0.9.2 release.
Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources up and fixed a few little
bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and openssl_bio.xs.
PS: I'm still not convinces whether we should try to make this
finally running or kick it out and replace it with some
other module....
- ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
- made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
- renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
their history because I've copied them in the repository)
- removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
