Thanks, Jacinta.

As it turns out, this "solves" the problem (although I'll post to
the libwww mailing list to see if anyone can provide more information
on *why*):

    sudo aptitude install libcrypt-ssleay-perl

(ie, switch from Net::SSLeay to Crypt::SSLeay; Net::SSLeay is still
installed, but LWP obviously uses the Crypt version by preference.)

Bah.  OpenSSL has always been a pain.
