Thats a bit of code I have to ensure the script uses SSL. If that's insecure for some reason please let me know.

Anyway, that bit of code has to go in all my scripts, and so I'd like to put it in a sub() and just call the sub. Problem is i'm using strict (no global variables) and it doesn't seem to work correctly when I pass it the $cgi object.

Is there a trick to passing CGI? is there a better way to do this? Thanks monks.
