Name        : perl-IO-Socket-SSL
Product     : Fedora 19
Version     : 1.88
Release     : 2.fc19
URL         : http://search.cpan.org/dist/IO-Socket-SSL/
Summary     : Perl library for transparent SSL
Description :
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update includes a back-ported patch from version 1.951 to use OpenSSL's default CA if the user doesn't specify one, needed if SSL_VERIFY_PEER is used (not the default in F-19, but is in F-20 onwards).

ChangeLog:

* Wed Jan 29 2014 Paul Howarth <paul at city-fan.org> - 1.88-2
