I have a few suggestions:

1 - check if the OpenSSL binding allows you do to those things

2 - write the code in C and cram them in with the libcurl binding and offer a
     perl API for them (could even be abstracted to work with GnuTLS too)

3 - ask people in the perl community how they tend to work with multi-
     threaded OpenSSL and see if if you can re-use other's implementations or
     concepts
