I currently use Net::SMTP::SSL to send e-mails out through my GoDaddy website: 
my $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new('smtpout.secureserver.net', Port => 465
+, Debug => 1, Hello => 'mysite.org') or die $!;

This has worked perfectly on Windows XP and Windows 7. However, I've moved to a new Windows 8 computer and it has quit working. The line above simply dies with "Bad file descriptor". Debug => 1 does not give me any details. Running it in the debugger, I was able to determine another message: 
IO::Socket::IP configuration failed SSL connect attempt failed with un
+known error error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:c
+ertificate verify failed

Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
