Does it give you a specific error? Can you copy+paste it here? Is your version of the openssl (C) library too old?

WWW::Salesforce installed successfully here on Mageia Linux x86-64 v6 with perl-5.22.2-RC1 in perlbrew using 'cpan -i'. > > I'm also trying to grok why it might not be a good idea to use the > Perl provided by the Mac OS (El Capitan) and use perlbrew instead. Well, I haven't really used Mac OS X, but from what I recall being told, its system perl may be configured in a non-standard way and the system may be too dependent on it working as it expects and as a result one should not mess with it. > Using perlbrew itself won't solve the problem I have with > WWW::Salesforce depending on a vulnerable module which I am unable to > substitute because the prerequisites force it to be used but it won't > install (endless circle of frustration here). > I don't think Crypt::SSLeay has a known vulnerability as long as it links to a recent enough version of the binary openssl library.
