I found the same issues after extensive usage with Crypt::SSLeay. My limited testing with sites that allowed both HTTP and HTTPS led me to believe that Crypt::SSLeay is not thread safe. When I looked into this about two years ago, my suspicion was that it was SSLeay itself, not the Perl wrapper code. I basically gave up on trying to find a solution and it's been forever since I have thought about this problem, so I don't know that I can provide much more detail.
At least it's not just you!
