Net::INET6Glue - Make common modules IPv6 ready by hotpatching SYNOPSIS
use Net::INET6Glue; # include all glue use LWP; use Net::SMTP; use Net::FTP; .. DESCRIPTION
Net::INET6Glue is a collection of modules to make common modules IPv6 ready by hotpatching them. Unfortunatly the current state of IPv6 support in perl is that no IPv6 support is in the core and that a lot of important modules (like Net::FTP, Net::SMTP, LWP,...) do not support IPv6 even if the modules for IPv6 sockets Socket6, IO::Socket::INET6 are available. This module tries to mitigate this by hotpatching. Currently the following submodules are available: Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6 Makes IO::Socket::INET behave like IO::Socket::INET6, especially make it capable to create IPv6 sockets. This makes LWP, Net::SMTP and others IPv6 capable. Net::INET6Glue::FTP Hotpatches Net::FTP to support EPRT and EPSV commands which are needed to deal with FTP over IPv6. Also loads Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6. COPYRIGHT

Net::SSLGlue::SMTP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SSLGlue::SMTP(3pm) NAME
Net::SSLGlue::SMTP - make Net::SMTP able to use SSL SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSLGlue::SMTP; my $smtp_ssl = Net::SMTP->new( $host, SSL => 1, SSL_ca_path => ... ); my $smtp_plain = Net::SMTP->new( $host ); $smtp_plain->starttls( SSL_ca_path => ... ); DESCRIPTION
Net::SSLGlue::SMTP extends Net::SMTP so one can either start directly with SSL or switch later to SSL using the STARTTLS command. By default it will take care to verify the certificate according to the rules for SMTP implemented in IO::Socket::SSL. METHODS
new The method "new" of Net::SMTP is now able to start directly with SSL when the argument "<SSL =" 1>> is given. In this case it will not create an IO::Socket::INET object but an IO::Socket::SSL object. One can give the usual "SSL_*" parameter of IO::Socket::SSL to "Net::SMTP::new". starttls If the connection is not yet SSLified it will issue the STARTTLS command and change the object, so that SSL will now be used. The usual "SSL_*" parameter of IO::Socket::SSL will be given. peer_certificate ... Once the SSL connection is established the object is derived from IO::Socket::SSL so that you can use this method to get information about the certificate. See the IO::Socket::SSL documentation. All of these methods can take the "SSL_*" parameter from IO::Socket::SSL to change the behavior of the SSL connection. The following parameters are especially useful: SSL_ca_path, SSL_ca_file Specifies the path or a file where the CAs used for checking the certificates are located. This is typically "etc/ssl/certs" on UNIX systems. SSL_verify_mode If set to 0, verification of the certificate will be disabled. By default it is set to 1 which means that the peer certificate is checked. SSL_verifycn_name Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used to verify the identity of the certificate. If you want to check the certificate against another name you can specify it with this parameter. SEE ALSO
