Try running through the process on your own manually. From the CPAN prompt:

1. type look Net::SSLeay to go into a shell in the unpacked directory
2. perl Makefile.PL
3. make
4. make test
5. make install

If there is a "README" or "INSTALL" file, try reading those too. If you come across any errors, you can append your question and maybe someone can help.
