Your observation is technically correct. However: the problem you
describe only appears if Crypt:SSLeay is linked against a static
libcrypto.a/libssl.a. By adding "+z" (or +Z), all modules inside
libcrypto.a/libssl.a become relocatable and can be linked into
a very large perl module.
I would rather recommend to build shared libraries (HP-UX 10.20
is supported: I am using it myself :-)
