Nearly transparent SSL encapsulation for IO::Socket::INET

Edit Package perl-IO-Socket-SSL

This module is a true drop-in replacement for IO::Socket::INET that uses
SSL to encrypt data before it is transferred to a remote server or client.
IO::Socket::SSL supports all the extra features that one needs to write a
full-featured SSL client or server application: multiple SSL contexts,
cipher selection, certificate verification, and SSL version selection. As
an extra bonus, it works perfectly with mod_perl.

If you have never used SSL before, you should read the appendix labelled
'Using SSL' before attempting to use this module.

If you have used this module before, read on, as versions 0.93 and above
have several changes from the previous IO::Socket::SSL versions (especially
see the note about return values).

If you are using non-blocking sockets read on, as version 0.98 added better
support for non-blocking.

If you are trying to use it with threads see the BUGS section.

  2.054 2018/01/22
  - added missing test certificates to MANIFEST
  2.053 2018/01/21
  - small behavior fixes
    - if SSL_fingerprint is used and matches don't check for OCSP
    - Utils::CERT_create - small fixes to properly specific purpose, ability to
      use predefined complex purpose but disable some features
  - update PublicSuffix
  - updates for documentation, especially regarding pitfalls with forking or using
    non-blocking sockets. Spelling fixes.
  - test fixes and improvements
    - stability improvements for live tests
    - regenerate certificate in certs/ and make sure they are limited to the
      correct purpose. Checkin program used to generate certificates.
    - adjust tests since certificates have changed and some tests used
      certificates intended for client authentication as server certificates,
      which now no longer works
