It depends on Crypt::OpenSSL::Guess, which has had a feature request
sitting there untouched for a couple of years to add LibreSSL support.
This module appears to be based on a rather old version of
Net::SSLeay's Makefile.PL; someone who uses LibreSSL could probably
pretty easily update it with some copy and paste of things containing
the string 'libressl' from here:
