Perl - SSLeay Compile Problem

[RON FLOLID]

I'm trying to build the Net_SSLeay module on a HP-UX 11.0 system using the HP Ansi C compiler. The perl running on this system is 5.6.1 built from source using the Ansi C compiler. I need SSL support, hence the need to compile and load SSLeay. I have OpenSSL version 9.6a loaded and verified. Now for the problem:
When I try to buid the SSLeay, the make fails with the following message:

# perl Makefile.PL
Checking for OpenSSL-0.9.6a or newer...
You have OpenSSL-0.9.6a installed in /usr/local/ssl

ld: Invalid loader fixup in text space needed in output file for symbol "$005C0032" in input file "/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a(ssl_lib.o)"
*** Error exit code 1

I would really appreciate any and all comments or suggestions.

PS. I've tried to build the OpenSSL with the "+z" option and have the save result.
