^ where did this come from?  OmniOS does not ship this module.
Perhaps you built it at some point, using the system perl?

You can't copy perl modules willy-nilly and expect them to work.
You've installed a Net::SSLeay for OMNIperl and copied it to a system
perl path.  Don't do that.  Especially when you're also mis-matching
perl versions (5.14.2 vs. 5.16.1).

If you want to use the packages from perl.omniti.com then you must
make sure you are always using /opt/OMNIperl/bin/perl as the
interpreter, and you will also need to install the appropriate
incorporation to constrain all module dist packages to the right perl
version.

For example, if you want to use OMNIperl 5.16, then you would:

pkg install omniti/incorporation/perl-516-incorporation omniti/runtime/perl

And thereafter, whenever you install a module dist package like
omniti/perl/net-ssleay you are guaranteed to get the build that
matches your perl version.
