" I guess my question is this, when specifying an Internet style socket, are requests that are addressed to the originating machine handled any differently internally than requests that are addressed to a different IP? "

Nope, even loopback is a psuedo device, so sending to that will not make a difference. I dont think were dealing with a code problem persay, or a socket problem, nor is it an operating system problem, in my thinking it is an arcitecture issue, as I am typing this I am compiling all the needed modules to debug further into this on a sparc processor (for it seeminly runs just fine using x86).

It turns out it worked fine on my sparc (OpenBSD sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5, MB86907 @ 170 MHz, on-chip FPU), and after looking at the acctuall SSL.pm, it might be an issue with your installation of SSL, try grabbing a brand spanking new copy of ssl, recompile your https against it, and same with Net::SSL, make sure both the server and the program are reading from the same page.

Ill post more as I dig more into it and try to recreate the error, btw: what web server are you running?
