IO::Socket::SSL is a class implementing an object oriented
interface to SSL sockets. The class is a descendent of
IO::Socket::INET.

In order to use IO::Socket::SSL you need to have Net::SSLeay
v1.21 or newer installed (v1.30 recommended).

For those who do not have a built-in random number generator
(including most users of Solaris), you should install one
before attempting to install IO::Socket::SSL.  If you don't
already have a favorite, try "egd" (egd.sourceforge.net) or
one of the other "Related Projects" listed on its home page.
If you want to bypass the test for existence of the RNG, then
set the "SKIP_RNG_TEST" environment variable to a true value.

This version has been tested with Net::SSLeay 1.25 and 1.30, 
OpenSSL 0.9.7d, 0.9.7e, 0.9.7g and 0.9.7i, and Perl versions 
5.8.5, 5.8.6 and 5.8.7 on OpenBSD3.7, OpenBSD3.8, Linux Debian 
Sarge, Ubuntu 5.10 and MacOSX 10.3.

In addition to providing a general OO interface to SSL sockets,
this package can be used with libwww-perl.

installation:
	perl Makefile.PL
	make
	make test
