Hello fellow monks,

Iīve been looking all the web for clear information on how to implement SSL in Perl and, as I really couldnīt find the answers, I come to ask for thy wisdom.

I have all my scripts working already, and want to implement SSL for the login page. Without SSL, as it is now, I smoothly (and insecurely) get usename and password from our great friend CGI.pm. But havenīt any clue of what to do when weīre talking about the SSL scheme.

Can you guys give me some directions? I know there are some modules to be installed for this to work, but I donīt know for sure which are they and how (and where) to adapt my code.

Thanks a lot

André
