That looks to be for Stunnel 3, which is no longer maintained. Please see
this message on the main website:

The obsolete 3.x branch is no longer maintained. Use stunnel3
<https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/stunnel3> perl script as a drop-in
replacement for backward compatibility.

https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/stunnel3

If you have perl installed in VMS, you should be able to use that perl
script to emulate stunnel 4. I don't know if Stunnel 3 and Stunnel 4 are
interoperable, perhaps not?
