-    o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
-       totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
-       with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
-       Net::SSLeay package we can find under
-       http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
-       longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
-       to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
-       Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
-       us.
+    o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
+       where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
+       [Gregory Stark <ghstark@pobox.com>, <rayyang2000@yahoo.com>]
 
 
-       Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
-               and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
