Perl modules affected by openssl breakage

Dear Perl Group,
are any of your 679 (you're doing an awesome job!) perl modules affected
by the openssl breakage?

E.g. any local script or application using libcrypt-openssl-* packages for
key creation would need to re-generate keys. Do you have some pointers
for documentation that can be provided to users?

Are their other packages maintained by you, which need pointers/
instructions on key rollovers?

(It could be argued that anyone using libs for local software not
packaged by Debian is resposible to checking them by himself, but IMO
we need to provide as verbose information as possible, so that this
error isn't hidden in systems forever)

Cheers,
        Moritz
