how to install Net::SSLeay Perl module

hello,
recently my school has started blocking email sites such as yahoo, hotmail, and gmail. I decided to do some research on how to bypass their firewall. I came across something called CGIProxy. This allows me to bypass and go to any site i want. However when i try logging into my yahoo account, it says:

This proxy as installed does not support SSL, i.e. URLs that start with "https://". To support SSL, the proxy administrator needs to install the Net::SSLeay Perl module, and then this proxy will automatically support SSL (the CGIProxy site has more info). In the meantime, any browsing to an "https://" URL will be directly from your browser, and no longer anonymous.

I have perl installed on the server. I can access any site that doesn't use SSL but i need to access yahoo mail. If anyone could give me instructions on how to exactly install SSLeay, I would be greatful. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
