A bit of debugging in the code shows that the "only" problem is

216  close $conn or die "Connection failed: $!\n";

in /usr/share/perl5/WWW/Dict/Leo/Org.pm. If I change the die() to a
warn() or comment out the line, everything works.

I have no idea why "close $conn" fails, it might be related to
changes in OpenSSL3 and/or IO::Socket::SSL ($conn = new
IO::Socket::SSL(...)). -- $conn->close() fails as well without any
further information.

So this is easy to workaround, I'd still appreciate if someone has
more clues what's going on here in order to produce a proper fix.
