Hi there,

Is it possible to have all the installation files which come from Crypt-SSLeay-0.51.tar.gz into a specific directory (i.e. the perl distribution directory such as /usr/perl/)

Yes, if you are installing using the CPAN shell, you can specify a Makefile.PL argument of PREFIX=/usr/perl. See the docs for CPAN for details.

So when the perl distribution is moved to another system, packaged with some application, all the Crypt-SSLeay files would still be there, instead of having scattered into system /lib and /usr/lib directories? [...]

You could probably do this without any problems for most modules except those that use binary code. The binary code modules would have to be re-compiled.
