Perl bindings for OpenSSL and LibreSSL

Changes for 1.93_05 - 2024-01-06

  • Remove support for automatic detection of libssl/libcrypto via pkg-config with ExtUtils:😛kgConfig if it is installed, due to the compiler and linker options provided by pkg-config being used unconditionally (which is incompatible with the OPENSSL_PREFIX detection method). The implementation of this was merged in time for developer release 1.93_03 and therefore hasn't been included in a stable release yet, so this doesn't represent a breaking change to the way in which libssl/libcrypto are detected by Makefile.PL. This is, however, a very useful feature, and we intend to bring it back in time for Net-SSLeay 1.96 after ironing out the remaining bugs.
