As being inexperienced Perl and SSL, I'm attempting to write code for the following scenario: As a 'remote site' I need to connect to "secure port" 2601 on the 'XEP'. The XEP will negotiate a secure SSL/TLS connection the remote connecting site. The remote site will need to accept the XEP's certificate. Then the XEP will prompt for a username and password If the remote site responds with the correct username and password, the connection is allowed. The non ssl works, Any hints appreciated 


code segments:
use 5.008006;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp;
use IO::Socket::INET;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
use Data::Dumper;
use POSIX qw(ceil floor);
use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic;


sub connect {
    my $self = shift;
    my $sock;

    if ( $self->{use_ssl} ) {
        warn "creating SSL socket to $$self{host}:$$self{port}"
          if ( $self->{debug} );

#  use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic;

  # create from parameters
       $sock = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic->new(
           'Basic' => {
           username => 'myuser,
           password => 'mypassword'
      }

)
}
    else {
        $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
            PeerAddr => $self->{host},
            PeerPort => $self->{port},
            Proto    => 'tcp'
        );

    }
