I'm creating a web application that requires the use of the perl module Crypt-SSLeay. This module has a dependency of needing OpenSSL headers. Since my Linux server has neither I went through these steps to install, but I'm receiving an error that's hard to understand (see below) because of my limited experience.
Server Information:
Running Oracle Enterprise Linux
Linux version 2.6.18-194.11.4.0.1.el5 (mockbuild@ca-build9.us.oracle.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48))
Steps to replicate the issue:
Downloaded and extracted openssl 0.9.8r from here and ran the following commands (after going to the directory)
./config --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl
make
make test
sudo make install
Downloaded and extracted the Crypt-SSLeay module from here and then ran the following commands (after going to the directory)
perl Makefile.PL
make
I receive the following error after I run "make":

Writing Makefile for Crypt::SSLeay
The test suite can attempt to connect to public servers
to ensure that the code is working properly. If you are
behind a strict firewall or have no network connectivity,
these tests may fail (through no fault of the code).

I'm not sure what I need to do when I recompile OpenSSL to get this module to work. Any help appreciated.
