I'm attempting to use HTTP::Server::Simple together with SSL. The link here shows how to use SSL in the accept_hook subclass

http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/HTTP-Server-Simple-0.44/lib/HTTP/Server/Simple.pm#accept_hook

However, when I attempt to use this, the accept_hook function never gives control back to the handle_request function where my CGI processing lies. I call it from a web brower using https://server:8080/hello?name=bob My question is, where does code execution go after the accept_hook handles the SSL setup? Here is an outline:

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 {
 package MyWebServer;
 
 use HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI;
 use IO::Socket::SSL;
 use base qw(HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI);
 
 my %dispatch = (
     '/hello' => \&resp_hello,
     # ...
 );
 
 sub handle_request {
     my $self = shift;
     my $cgi  = shift;
   
     my $path = $cgi->path_info();
     my $handler = $dispatch{$path};
 
     if (ref($handler) eq "CODE") {
         print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n";
         $handler->($cgi);
         
     } else {
         print "HTTP/1.0 404 Not found\r\n";
         print $cgi->header,
               $cgi->start_html('Not found'),
               $cgi->h1('Not found'),
               $cgi->end_html;
     }
 }
 
 sub resp_hello {
     my $cgi  = shift;   # CGI.pm object
     return if !ref $cgi;
     
     my $who = $cgi->param('name');
     
     print $cgi->header,
           $cgi->start_html("Hello"),
           $cgi->h1("Hello $who!"),
           $cgi->end_html;
 }
 sub accept_hook {
        my $self = shift;
        my $fh   = $self->stdio_handle;

        $self->SUPER::accept_hook(@_);

        my $newfh =
        IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL( $fh, 
            SSL_server    => 1,
            SSL_use_cert  => 1,
            SSL_cert_file => 'myserver.crt',
            SSL_key_file  => 'myserver.key',
            SSL_verify_mode => 0x00,
        )
        or warn "problem setting up SSL socket: " . IO::Socket::SSL::e
+rrstr();

        $self->stdio_handle($newfh) if $newfh;
 }
 } 
 
 # start the server on port 8080
 my $pid = MyWebServer->new(8080)->background();
 print "Use 'kill $pid' to stop server.\n";
