I had a nice script working with a web service via XML::Compile until recently when the web service went to SSL. I'm not really sure how to go about SSL via XML::Compile. Taking a first leap I decided I'll probably need to create an SSL socket:

use strict;
use warnings;

use IO::Socket::SSL       qw(debug3);

my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new
(    PeerAddr    => 'some.server.com',
    PeerPort   => 443,
    Proto    => 'tcp',
    SSL_use_cert => 1,
    SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE,
    SSL_cert_file   => 'server.pem'
) or die "failed connect or ssl handshake: $!,",&IO::Socket::SSL::errs
+tr,"\n";

But when I run this, I get a bad return value from Net::SSLeay

perl -MNet::SSLeay -e " print Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_version();
reveals "OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013"

I'm not certain I'm pursuing the right direction, or how I'm actually going to pass the socket into the XML::Compile transport, so I thought I'd stop here for a sanity check.

Other info... I'm having to do this via Windows with Strawberry Perl 5.16.3. I updated a whole slew of libraries (from Net::HTTP* to IO::Socket* to Net:SSL*) I do have the ability to run openssl to get the cert info. I can connect via telnet to the server at port 443. I don't really care about the server verification/certificate as the client is just used for test automation.

Thanks Monks

Update: I found a handy script somewhere (lost the link now) that helped me determine that the SSL was version 3. So adding "SSL_version => 'SSLv3'" to the LWP::UserAgent's ssl_opts got the SSL handshake to complete.

Now I'm stuck on a read timeout. I will be increasing the client timeout on the transport layer underneath the SSL layer.
