NAME

       Net::connect - Connect to a server

SYNOPSIS

       NetHandle connect( Protocol proto, String server, Int port, Bool usetls=false, [String] certfiles=[] )

ARGUMENTS

       proto The network protocol to use

       server The hostname or IP address of the server to connect to (e.g.  service.example.com , localhost or 192.168.20.25 )

       port The network port to connect to

       usetls If this is true, and the TLS library is available, then the connection will be encrypted. This parameter may be omitted and defaults
       to false.

       certs An optional list of certificate files for TLS encrypted connections. Each file should contain one or  more  PEM-encoded  certificates
       for a trusted certification authority. If this list is empty (the default), no certificate verification will be performed on encrypted con-
       nections, which is insecure.

DESCRIPTION

       Connect to a server (optionally using TLS). Returns a connection handle.
