Error with ddclient (Update fails loading IO::Socket::SSL)

Trying to run ddclient, I get the following error.

FATAL:    Error loading the Perl module IO::Socket::SSL needed for SSL connect.
FATAL:     On Debian, the package libio-socket-ssl-perl must be installed.

Here's my conf file:

[root@Muspelheimr ddclient]# grep -v '^#' /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf | grep -vi 'password'
daemon=600                              # check every 300 seconds
syslog=yes                              # log update msgs to syslog
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid               # record PID in file.
ssl=yes                                 # use ssl-support.  Works with
                                        # ssl-library
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address' # found after IP Address

login=daenyth                                   # default login

 server=members.dyndns.org,             \
 protocol=dyndns2                       \
 daenyth.ath.cx

If I change ssl to "no" in the conf, it works, but that's really not acceptable. Has anyone else seen this problem or know how to work around it?

install perl-io-socket-ssl and see if it works.

After poking around in perl a bit, I found that it fails due to the following code in SSL.pm:
# non-XS Versions of Scalar::Util will fail
BEGIN{
eval { use Scalar::Util 'dualvar'; dualvar(0,'') };
die "You need the XS Version of Scalar::Util for dualvar() support"
if $@;
}

So installing the correct version should fix it. Next step is for me to go find it. I might make a pkgbuild if I'm in the mood.
