Perl module implementing object oriented interface to SSL sockets This module is a true drop-in replacement for IO::Socket::INET that uses SSL to encrypt data before it is transferred to a remote server or client. IO::Socket::SSL supports all the extra features that one needs to write a full-featured SSL client or server application: multiple SSL contexts, cipher selection, certificate verification, and SSL version selection. As an extra bonus, it works perfectly with mod_perl. IO::Socket::SSL uses IPv6 if libio-socket-ip-perl (>= 0.11) or libio-socket-inet6-perl is installed.
