Hi Monks,

I am VERY new to OO stuff, but I went a searching for an easy way to encrypt my io::socket::inet traffic...

I know I can encrypt it before syswriting() it, but it seems like there should be a way to create a io::socket::inet::encrypted class

Since it didn't seem to be on CPAN, do I just create my own module, somewhat like this (pseudo code)

package io::socket::inet::encrypted;
use base qw(io::socket::inet);

then override methods, like syswrite()?

sub syswrite
{
   my $buf = $_[0];
   $buf = crypt($buf);
   base::syswrite($buf); # I don't know what base is...
                         # of if I use @ISA and SUPER::
}

I just want to make sure I get some advice and that I am on the right track before I go chasing gooses ;-)

THANKS
