Hi
I have been told that in order for my Perl script to be able to post
to an https address, there needs to be an extra library/object
installed on my server, like CURL for php. Can anyone tell me the name
of the library? Is there just one or are there alternatives?
Many thanks
Pete

I think my host is using CPAN Perl?

CPAN: Crypt::SSLeay.

Maybe Net::SSLeay would work equally; haven't tried.

Thats great thank you all. I'm not up on Perl or webservers, so this
helps a lot. My Host has said to offer SSL I would need to upgrade to a
dedicated server :( at over =A3100
a month.
Is installing something like Crypt::SSLeay difficult? Any ideas why I
should need to upgrade to a dedicated server in order to get SSL
support?
Can I just clarify how this relates to having an SSL cert? When i have
asked this question to other poeple they have started talking about
secure sites. but isnt that different from support for the SSL
protocol?
Many thanks
Pete

That of course is completely unrelated to your original question, which
was about accessing a site, not serving a site.

Usually not; YMMV.

They're using it as an excuse to make more money? :-)

Your problem appears to be clarifying what it is that you want, because I
cannot tell why you are talking about posting to an https address at the
same time as serving a secure site. Unless what you mean by 'post' is
different from the usual interpretation of an HTTP request. What *do* you
mean by 'post'?
