NAME

       Net::connect - Connect to a server

SYNOPSIS

       NetHandle  connect(  Protocol  proto, String server, Int port, Bool usetls=false, [String]
       certfiles=[] )

ARGUMENTS

       proto The network protocol to use

       server The hostname or IP address of the server to connect to (e.g.  service.example.com ,
       localhost or 192.168.20.25 )

       port The network port to connect to

       usetls  If  this  is  true,  and the TLS library is available, then the connection will be
       encrypted. This parameter may be omitted and defaults to false.

       certs An optional list of certificate files  for  TLS  encrypted  connections.  Each  file
       should contain one or more PEM-encoded certificates for a trusted certification authority.
       If this list is empty (the default), no certificate  verification  will  be  performed  on
       encrypted connections, which is insecure.

DESCRIPTION

       Connect to a server (optionally using TLS). Returns a connection handle.
