SSL.pm cries about missing CTX_clear_m.al when used by libwww-perl with https URL

[Marc D.]

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:

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

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

libwww-perl needs to Recommend libio-socket-ssl-perl then.

I cannot reproduce this bug since:

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

So I suppose it has been fixed.

Thanks!
