| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 1 IO::Socket::SSL makes using SSL/TLS much easier by wrapping the necessary |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 2 functionality into the familiar IO::Socket interface and providing secure |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 3 defaults whenever possible. |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 4 This way, existing applications can be made SSL-aware without much effort, |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 5 at least if you do blocking I/O and don't use select or poll. |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 6 |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 7 But, under the hood, SSL is a complex beast. So there are lots of methods |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 8 to make it do what you need if the default behavior is not adequate. |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 9 Because it is easy to inadvertently introduce critical security bugs or |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 10 just hard to debug problems, I would recommend studying the documentation |
| Hans-G?nter@24225 | 11 carefully. |
