Details

A new perl-Crypt-SSLeay package that allows for SSL encryption of network
traffic by perl modules is now available.

This newly added perl module provides support for the HTTPS protocol under
LWP, so that a LWP::UserAgent can make HTTPS GET, HEAD, and 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 the module to work.

The perl-Crypt-SSLeay package allows for SSL communication via perl
modules. This also enables various perl modules such as LWP to work
transparently with HTTPS URLs.

All users requiring perl-Crypt-SSLeay functionality should install this
newly added package.
