I hadn’t built OpenSSL from source in *decades*, and I don’t recall it using so much Perl. I’ve been doing the configure/fix/configure/make/fix/make/fix.. process with a dozen yum and/or cpan invocations as the fixes. Needed on a CentOS 6.10 machine with Perl 5.10 as the base.
Oh. The whole test stage of the build is Perl. Cool.
