LWP::UserAgent to IO::Socket.What is the way?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->ssl_opts( timeout => 5 );
[download]

This sets the socket's IO::Socket::SSL timeout. But how is the object hierarchy constructed?are they related Inheritance or Composition wise?

What does this ssl_opts method actually do? Does it pass the message using delegation? or in other words,how do you start from a UserAgent object and end up in the lowest end of the IO::Socket module?

I looked at the source but since I have a background in Java I couldn't comprehend much

What are you trying to do? If you look at https://metacpan.org/pod/LWP::UserAgent#ua-ssl_opts it says ... LWP::Protocol::https ...LWP::Protocol::http...create the sockets, LWP knows about them through LWP::Protocol#class-LWP::Protocol::implementor-scheme-class Does that help?	[reply]

like you want to describe the object relations between Useragent and Socket using a UML diagram .what would it look like?	[reply]
