See documentation. Following are some common errors to watch out for: It doesn't work together with Storable::fd_retrieve|fd_store, see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23419. You need to use freeze/nfreeze/thaw and syswrite/sysread the data yourself. See the bug for examples how to do it. --------------------- Note that a random number generator is required for the proper operation of this module. Systems that have /dev/random or /dev/urandom are fine, but those that do not, like most versions of Solaris, will need to fetch one before installing IO::Socket::SSL. If you don't already have a favorite, try EGD (egd.sourceforge.net). --------------------- Versions of perl-ldap below v0.26 do not work with this version of IO::Socket::SSL because they contain a workaround for old versions of IO::Socket::SSL that breaks new versions. --------------------- One user mentioned that the following did not work as it should in IO::Socket::SSL, but worked in IO::Socket::INET: chomp($var = <$socket>); print ord(chop($var)); # Prints "10" for people using ASCII This is due to a bug in Perl that is fixed in 5.8.1. If you need a workaround, try one of the following: chomp($var = $socket->getline()); chomp($var = scalar <$socket>); chomp($var = $var = <$socket>); Any function that returns the value of <$socket> (in scalar context) unchanged will work. --------------------- If you have 384-bit RSA keys you need to use Diffie Hellman Key Exchange. See the parameter SSL_dh_file or SSL_dh for how to use it and http://groups.google.de/group/mailing.openssl.users/msg/d60330cfa7a6034b for an explanation why you need it. -- Steffen Ullrich (sullr at cpan.org) Peter Behroozi (behrooz at fas.harvard.edu)
