|
|
|
|
Net::SSLGlue - add/extend SSL support for common perl modules
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Some commonly used perl modules don't have SSL support at all, even if the
|
|
protocol supports it. Others have SSL support, but most of them don't do
|
|
proper checking of the server's certificate.
|
|
|
|
The C<Net::SSLGlue::*> modules try to add SSL support or proper certificate
|
|
checking to these modules. Currently support for the following modules is
|
|
available:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item Net::SMTP - add SSL from beginning or using STARTTLS
|
|
|
|
=item Net::POP3 - add SSL from beginning or using STLS
|
|
|
|
=item Net::FTP - add SSL and IPv6 support to Net::FTP
|
|
|
|
=item Net::LDAP - add proper certificate checking
|
|
|
|
=item LWP - add proper certificate checking for older LWP versions
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
There is also a Net::SSLGlue::Socket package which combines ssl and non-ssl
|
|
and ipv6 capabilities to make it easier to enhance modules based on
|
|
IO::Socket::INET.
