Does IO::Socket::SSL need to be configured? Doesn't work for me

dihewidd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

IO::Socket::SSL is up to date. However, we get "No socket!" error when running this code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use IO::Socket::SSL;

my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new( PeerAddr => 'pop.gmail.com',
                                     PeerPort => 993,
                                     Proto    => 'tcp') || die "No soc
+ket!";

exit;

Your code proceeds without any error for me ... and I'm not aware of having performed any configuration. Is the internet connection ok ? Cheers, Rob	[reply]
