Sorry Jason, I should have mentioned building the perl modules instead of 
rebuilding openssl.  You should be able to install 0.9.6 and 0.9.5 at the 
same time -- which is what you will need to satisfy the dependencies.  (on 
goes in as so.1, the other as so.2, or something like that).  I'd like to 
help you further but I'm heading out of town for the weekend, and 
rpmfind.net seems to be down right now.  RH Linux administration can get 
pretty complicated at times, eh?  Good luck,
