This isn’t answering your question for Net::SSH::Perl, but if you’re simply interested in SSL connections to PostgreSQL you can do that through DBD::Pg.

To do that, follow these steps:

  1. Build and install an SSL enabled PostgreSQL (requires OpenSSL) - DOCS
  2. Configure the certificates - DOCS
  3. Build and install DBI - DOCS
  4. Build and install DBD::Pg - DOCS
  5. Require SSL on that connection - DOCS

It might seem a bit complex, but it’s very easy when you step though it. And when you’re done, using SSL to connect is simple and transparent.

Note: Make sure to read the DBD::Pg README on including the SSL lib (linked above).
