Net::SSLGlue(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Net::SSLGlue — bestie, this is the module that goes and adds and extends SSL support for all your fave common perl modules 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so listen. some perl modules out here are literally living in the pre-SSL dark ages — no SSL support at all, even when the protocol they speak is like, fully capable of it. and the ones that do have SSL? most of them are not doing proper checking of the server's certificate 😭 and that's not cute, that's a vibe check that everyone fails.

so the Net::SSLGlue::* modules are here to fix that: they either add SSL support where there was none, or add proper certificate checking where the checking was mid. right now the support lineup is:

• 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

and there's also the Net::SSLGlue::Socket package, which combines ssl and non-ssl and ipv6 capabilities together, so it's way easier to level up modules that are based on IO::Socket::INET. iconic honestly 👑
