Running make on Net::SSLeay 1.35 fails as follows:

I think all these failures relate to the lack of engine.h in my openssl
libraries?

Could well be ... assuming that engine.h does not exist in 0.9.6a.
Otherwise it's simply a case of engine.h existing, but not existing in
a location where it's found automatically. For me (0.9.8g) engine.h
can be found in /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl.

The Net-SSLeay-1.35 README states (re prerequisites):

------------------------------------------
OpenSSL-0.9.6j or OpenSSL-0.9.7b
(try http://www.openssl.org/) -
This release has been tested with 0.9.6d and
in historical light it seems likely that future versions
will work as well (if major version number changes all bets
are off, though)
------------------------------------------
..
..
Is it possible to compile Net::SSLeay without reference to engine.h?

Not easily (ie not without some serious hacking at the source) ... not
version 1.35, at least. (But maybe some earlier version.)
