NAME¶

Net::SSLGlue - add/extend SSL support for common perl modules

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 "Net::SSLGlue::*" modules try to add SSL support or proper certificate checking to these modules. Currently support for the following modules is available:

Net::SMTP - add SSL from beginning or using STARTTLS

Net::LDAP - add proper certificate checking

LWP - add proper certificate checking
