This reverts commit 25033cfb86.

This perl package is deprecated and gives following recommendations while
building:

    *** THIS IS NOT AN ERROR, JUST A MESSAGE FOR YOUR INFORMATION ***

        Do you really need Crypt::SSLeay?

        Starting with version 6.02 of LWP, https support was unbundled into
        LWP::Protocol::https. This module specifies as one of its prerequisites
        IO::Socket::SSL which is automatically used by LWP::UserAgent unless
        this preference is overridden separately. IO::Socket::SSL is a more
        complete implementation, and, crucially, it allows hostname
        verification. Crypt::SSLeay does not support this. At this point,
        Crypt::SSLeay is maintained to support existing software that already
        depends on it.

        However, it is possible that your software does not really depend on
        Crypt::SSLeay, only on the ability of LWP::UserAgent class to
        communicate with sites over SSL/TLS.

        If are using version LWP 6.02 or later, and therefore have installed
        LWP::Protocol::https and its dependencies, and do not explicitly use
        Net::SSL before loading LWP::UserAgent, or override the default socket
        class, you are probably using IO::Socket::SSL and do not really need
        Crypt::SSLeay.

        Before installing Crypt::SSLeay, you may want to try specifying a
        dependency on LWP::Protocol::https.
