%general-entities; ]> IO::Socket::SSL IO::Socket::SSL makes using SSL/TLS much easier by wrapping the necessary functionality into the familiar IO::Socket interface and providing secure defaults whenever possible. &lfs83_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download MD5 sum: &my-md5sum; IO::Socket::SSL Dependencies Required and The tests hang if you are using openssl-1.1.1. They similarly hang if you are using openssl-1.1.0 and Net::SSLeay has had the patch for 1.1.1 applied. Therefore, running them is at the moment not recommended. If you are on the old version of openssl and did not apply the patch, you can run 'make test' in the normal way. If you are using the cpan method of installation, use the -T option to avoid running the tests. This module uses a variant of the standard build and installation instructions: yes | perl Makefile.PL && make Now, as the root user: make install yes: Perl will ask if you wish to run external tests, which will 'fail soft' if there are network problems. The default is 'y', this allows you to script the build.
