Well I may not be solving your problem, but I will say that it builds
fine for me on linux.

That error 
RSA.xs:67: error: `MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH' undeclared (first use in this
function)

seems to indicate that your openssl headers are not being found, or
you have an old version?

Quite often, it pays to get the very latest libraries, and install them
from source.

You didn't say which platform, distribution, openssl versions, Perl
version, etc, which you are using. That would help someone to analyze
your problem.

Did you build openssl yourself, or did you install the distro's
precompiled version? Many distro's have the libs split, into
runtime and devel packages. You may need to install the openssl-devel
package, or best is just to get the openssl source tarball, and install
it.  Then retry. 

Goodluck.
