- IO::Socket::SSL is a class implementing an object oriented
- interface to SSL sockets. The class is a descendent of
- IO::Socket::INET.
- In order to use IO::Socket::SSL you need to have Net::SSLeay
- v1.46 or newer installed.
- To use ECDH curves (needed for perfect forward secrecy) you need
- to use Net::SSLeay >= 1.56 (not released at time of writing) or
- patch Net::SSLeay yourself using docs/net-ssley-ecdh.patch.
- For those who do not have a built-in random number generator
- (including most users of Solaris), you should install one
- before attempting to install IO::Socket::SSL. If you don't
- already have a favorite, try "egd" (egd.sourceforge.net) or
- one of the other "Related Projects" listed on its home page.
- If you want to bypass the test for existence of the RNG, then
- set the "SKIP_RNG_TEST" environment variable to a true value.
- In addition to providing a general OO interface to SSL sockets,
- this package can be used with libwww-perl.
- installation:
- perl Makefile.PL
- make
- make test
- make install
