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