You might also try installing Net::SSLeay instead -- I am not sure if it
has the same dependencies, but if you install either it or Crypt::SSLeay
with CPAN, they might work with openssl-0.9.5a.

I assume you are planning on using one of

    Vend::Payment::AuthorizeNet
    Vend::Payment::iTransact
    Vend::Payment::Skipjack

which are the only reasons either module is needed. You only need one
of them...
