This perl module provides support for the https protocol
under LWP, so that a LWP::UserAgent can make https GET &
HEAD & POST requests. Please see perldoc LWP for more
information on POST requests.
The Crypt::SSLeay package contains Net::SSL, which is
automatically loaded by LWP::Protocol::https on https
requests, and provides the necessary SSL glue for that
module to work via these deprecated modules:
Crypt::SSLeay::CTX
Crypt::SSLeay::Conn
Crypt::SSLeay::X509
Work on Crypt::SSLeay has been continued only to provide
https support for the LWP - libwww perl libraries. If you
want access to the OpenSSL API via perl, check out Sampo's
Net::SSLeay.
