mod_ssl and openssl confusion about purpose

Hello,

I have apache 2.2.6 installed installed on a Solaris 8 server. It was compiled with
# ./configure --disable-ipv6 --enable-info --enable-status --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --disable-egotiation --disable-userdir --disable-autoindex --disable-imap --enable-expires

When I do a httpd -l I see that mod_ssl.c is compiled in.

A server status only shows the line below, it doesn't show the openssl verison. I notice on a linux server it shows the openssl verison.

Server Version: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.6

I am confused about if I am using openssl or mod_ssl and the purpose/function of each. If I upgrade openssl, do I have to recompile apache? I did not compile in mod_ssl, so is that done just by saying with_ssl? How can I see what version of openssl it is using without doing a "openssl verion".

Thank you
