I'm working on a client/server application where I'm needing an encrypted socket. I've tried using IO::Socket::SSL to do this, but keep coming up with $@ eq "IO::Socket::SSL: Timeout" and &IO::Socket::SSL::errstr() eq "IO::Socket::INET configuration failed" errors. The server does recognize that a connection is attempted and runs the necessary code to open the connection, but it fails immediately on the client-side. The client uses: 
use IO::Socket::SSL;

my $client = IO::Socket::SSL->new(PeerAddr => 'destination.server.com'
+, PeerPort => 12345, Proto => 'tcp');

And the server uses: 
use IO::Socket;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
use IO::Select;
use constant PORT    => 43968;

my %client;

my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new(LocalPort => PORT, Listen => SOMAXCO
+NN, Proto => 'tcp', SSL_key_file => "./myserver.key", SSL_cert_file =
+> "./myserver.cert", SSL_server => 1, Reuse => 1);

Anything obviously wrong with this? .. and are there any useful examples or documentation out there for IO::Socket::SSL? I've looked everywhere.. and everything I find is either contradictory to one another .. or it's just plain useless. Thank ya!

update (broquaint): title change (was IO::Socket::SSL)
