in reply to SSL modules to include

Should I place the module that provides SSL as a requirement in my Makefile.PL or allow for the user to install it without SSL and die() if a SSL connection is requested and the SSL module is not present ?
Makefile.PL should warn the user if he doesn't have IO::Socket::SSL that it is required for SSL support, and then go on its merry way. The SSL tests should be skipped if IO::Socket::SSL is not present. And yes, if a user tries to make a SSL connection the module should die.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
