+=item Net::SSLeay
+
+This module hasn't been significantly updated since OpenSSL is called
+OpenSSL, and fails to properly link against dependent libraries, most
+commonly, it forgets to specify -ldl when linking.
+
+On GNU/Linux systems this usually goes undetected, as perl usually links
+against -ldl itself and OpenSSL just happens to pick it up that way, by
+chance.
+
+For static builds, you either have to configure -ldl manually, or you
+cna use the following snippet in your C<postinstall> hook which patches
+Net::SSLeay after installation, which happens to work most of the time:
+
+   postinstall() {
+      # first install it
+      instcpan Net::SSLeay
+      # then add -ldl for future linking
+      chmod u+w "$PERL_PREFIX"/lib/auto/Net/SSLeay/extralibs.ld
+      echo " -ldl" >>"$PERL_PREFIX"/lib/auto/Net/SSLeay/extralibs.ld
+   }
