The openssl module is included in the builds from 
http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/ 
(lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/openssl.so), but libeay32.dll and 
ssleay32.dll are missing.
You can copy the two files from a binary distribution of openssl for 
windows, for example the one from 
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. The installer put 
both files in %WINDOWS_HOME%\system32, you have to copy them to a 
directory where ruby.exe can find them, e.g. to the bin folder of the 
intepreter.
