I had the same problem as that test failure trying to build under a
Fedora Core 5 with the latest OpenSSL 0.9.8a installed as the openssl
and openssl-dev RPMs.

I found that RSA.xs needs to have the following includes added:

#include <openssl/md5.h>
#include <openssl/ripemd.h>

See bug report

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18239

Digging in, I see that the only reason it does not also need

#include <openssl/sha.h>

is because sha.h is included in x509.h which is included by ssl.h which
is included in RSA.xs.

I guess that something changed in a recent version of openSSL and that
older versions had md5.h and ripemd.h indirectly included when ssl.h
was. To make the fix more robust I would include all three of md5.h,
sha.h, and ripemd.h in RSA.xs.
