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::POP3 - add SSL from beginning or using STLS
       Net::FTP  - add SSL and IPv6 support to Net::FTP
       Net::LDAP - add proper certificate checking
       LWP - add proper certificate checking for older LWP versions

       There is also a Net::SSLGlue::Socket package which combines ssl and non-ssl and ipv6
       capabilities to make it easier to enhance modules based on IO::Socket::INET.
