Topic

An update for perl-IO-Socket-SSL is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The perl-IO-Socket-SSL package is a drop-in replacement for IO-Socket-INET that uses SSL to encrypt data before it is transferred to a remote server or client. IO::Socket::SSL supports all the extra features that one needs to write a full-featured SSL client or server application.

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 Technical Notes linked from the References section.
