Greeting monks,

I have minor question regard with IO::Socket::SSL issue.

I am working on building Net WebSocket Application using Net::WebSocket::Server module.

http://search.cpan.org/~topaz/Net-WebSocket-Server-0.001003/lib/Net/WebSocket/Server.pm

I was successfully building websocket server, but little concern about building IO::Socket::SSL objects.

It seems everytime when handshake occurs, its building new IO::Socket::SSL object for clients with new Symbol creation. When I dump socket object variable in log file it output as follows:

$VAR1 = bless( \*Symbol::GEN67, 'IO::Socket::SSL' );

My concern is this GEN # number is keep increasing (ex. Symbol::GEN68, Symbol::GEN69, Symbol::GEN70 .... so forth) no matter what. I don't know whether this Symbol::GEN object should be deleted or not.

I wonder if anybody can enlighten me in some aspect of using IO::Socket::SSL. What would be proper way to close / shutdown its service. Does it closes automatically if socket isn't being used? Should I concern about symbol # increases?

For your record, I am using Steffen Ullrich's version of IO::Socket::SSL
