Howdy,

In order to remain PCI compliant I need to make sure that our e-commerce web app is submitting data to 3rd party services with SSL 3.0. We are using a simple HTTP::Request::Common "POST" to an HTTPS URL with LWP::UserAgent. The headers of the response don't tell me anything about what SSL version is being used, and I can't find anything in the docs for HTTP::Request::Common (or HTTP::Request, or LWP::UserAgent) which would provide any insight.

Is there any test I can run which would reveal what version of SSL is being used? If it turns out that we're using SSL 2.0 then we have a real problem on our hands as a major 3rd party service we use will be dropping support for SSL 2.0 rather soon.

Any advice is appreciated.

- Phil

If it helps any, this is a stripped down example of how we're making HTTPS POST requests: 
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

my $req = POST "https://some.secure.site.com/script.cgi",
[ 
    some_data  => 'value 1',
    more_data=> 'value 2'
];

my $page = $ua->request($req)->as_string;
print $page;
