Thanks for the reply.

I've come across those recently, but didn't find them useful for the following reasons:

1) How can I tell that the SSL being used is provided by Crypt::SSLeay and not IO::Socket::SSL ?

2) And once we figure that out, we're still not aware of a way to learn which version of SSL is actually being used. It may fail when trying SSL 3.0 and fall back to SSL 2.0... We may have such an old version of (insert dependancy name here) that 3.0 isn't even available. These are our prime concerns we're trying to figure out.

3) Also, those notes make reference to "$ENV{HTTPS_VERSION}".... As this is a web app, isn't the $ENV variable filled with values associated with the connection between the web app client and our server? The connection we're worried about is between our server and the 3rd party service.

Connections:

1. Client -> HTTPS/SSL connection to our server -> our server.
2. Our server -> HTTPS/SSL connection to 3rd party financial service server -> 3rd party server.

The $ENV variable we work with in our web app seems to pertain to connection 1. Would the SSL library in use for connection to use the same $ENV variable?

Thanks in advance.
