Hello,

I am working on a project to collect statistics from private news groups that are running inside my company. Theoretcially, News::Scan should work great, but the server requires that clients use SSL. I know nothing about using SSL sockets, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to create a SSL socket and then have News::Scan talk to the news server through that. If you think it should be possilble, can you point me to good, simple documentation on suing SSLeasy that might make this task a little easier?

Thanks much,

Scott

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
