is there any other recipe depending on find.pl? (I've tried only minimal
image with perl-5.16), maybe sgml-common-native as Jack reported, 
here it's used only in do_configure, that's why I added find.pl only to 
openssl and better fix would be to send patch to use File::Find in 
perlpath.pl to openssl upstream IMHO then adding find.pl to sysroot.
