Bug Description

When I use libwww-perl's GET with an https URL, SSL.pm cries about missing file CTX_clear_m.al, which is not in any Ubuntu package according to packages.ubuntu.com:

marc@ellen:~$ GET -e -S "https://twitter.com/"

I am filing this bug for the package libio-socket-ssl-perl because it contains the crying SSL.pm.

I cannot reproduce this bug since:

Package: libio-socket-ssl-perl
Version: 2.066-0ubuntu4

So I suppose it has been fixed.

Thanks!
