Try rpm -e mod_ssl
If you consult the rpm man page you'll see that installing and
uninstalling take different options. Installing requires a package file
while uninstalling requires only the package name.
rpm -i [install-options] <package_file>+
rpm -e <package_name>+
-Mike
FYI: <package_file> is <package_name>-<package_version>-<release>-<arch>.rpm
