FWIW I'm on Arch as well and am getting what I assume is a related error:

SSLeay.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got
handshake key 0xdb80080, needed 0xde00080)

The last patch I sent out was on 5/23, and I just ran a system upgrade
today (only one I've done since then), which presumably is what
"broke" send-email. I used CPAN to install Net::SMTP::SSL,
Mime::Base64, and Authen::SASL; I assume that Net::SSLeay is installed
as a dependency of one of the three (presumably the first)?

I know Net::SSLeay isn't controlled by Arch's package manager:

$ perldoc -l Net::SSLeay
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/SSLeay.pod
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/SSLeay.pod
error: No package owns /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/SSLeay.pod

Ævar's patch unfortunately does not fix or change anything for me.

Liam: when you say "uninstall" /usr/{lib,share}/perl5/site_perl/*, do
you just mean rm -rf?
