Installing OpenSSL Module on Shared Server

I'm trying to get OpenSSL to work on my account. It is hosted on a shared webserver running Solaris 7 and Apache 1.3.3 and I do not have root access.

I unpacked Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA-0.12.tar.gz and I keep getting errors when running Make. Here's what I've tried when running the Makefile.PL:

perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site INSTALLSITELIB=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL

perl Makefile.PL LIB=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL PREFIX=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL


Here's a copy of what came up in SSH:

venus:/modules/OpenSSL > perl Makefile.PL LIB=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL PREFIX=/home/USERID/modules/OpenSSL
Warning: prerequisite Crypt::OpenSSL::Random 0 not found at (eval 1) line 226.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lssl

In file included from RSA.xs:5:

*** Error code 1

Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can get OpenSSL installed? I've installed several other modules on my account so I know it is possible.

Yes it's possible technically.

Without root access, that makes it impossible.

This is the problem. Remember this -> One CERT -> One IP -> One FQDN (common name). On a shared webserver using name-based vhost (with one IP address, of course), only ONE ServerName can be configured to use https://www.domain.com. More than likely your host already used it for theirs, so you can't do it.
