That's my fault, I posted exec as that was my last test live. I had tried backticks, system and exec. I recall last time I attempted this I was going after the IPC2/3 modules without success. I have not or did not notice IPC::Run itself. I shall give that a look when I get home.

I understand that not liking io::socket::SSL is just a personal choice. Until I understand perl better, I want to stay away from sysread and I was "forced" to use that with IO::S::SSL. Doing multiple handles without threading knowledge, sysread would read whatever was on the buffer. And the buffer itself would cause me issues for size and I spent more time dealing with it than I cared to. </p

It comes down to, using openssl raw in terminal, I'm able to do everything i want in about 25 seconds. Using io:s:SSL, it takes me a lot longer and I spend time troubleshooting all types of noon bugs. That's why I was hoping to pipe in and out directly to openssl. I'll check out IPC again when I'm home.

Thanks.
