Fedora 10 Update: perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.26-1.fc10
Summary
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 to version 1.26 fixes an issue where only the prefix of the hostname was checked if there was no wildcard present, so for example www.example.org would match a certificate starting with www.exam.
