Following are some common errors to watch out for:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It doesn't work together with Storable::fd_retrieve|fd_store, see
|
||
|
|
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23419.
|
||
|
|
You need to use freeze/nfreeze/thaw and syswrite/sysread the data
|
||
|
|
yourself. See the bug for examples how to do it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that a random number generator is required for the proper
|
||
|
|
operation of this module. Systems that have /dev/random or
|
||
|
|
/dev/urandom are fine, but those that do not, like most versions
|
||
|
|
of Solaris, will need to fetch one before installing IO::Socket::SSL.
|
||
|
|
If you don't already have a favorite, try EGD (egd.sourceforge.net).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Versions of perl-ldap below v0.26 do not work with this version
|
||
|
|
of IO::Socket::SSL because they contain a workaround for old
|
||
|
|
versions of IO::Socket::SSL that breaks new versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One user mentioned that the following did not work as it should in
|
||
|
|
IO::Socket::SSL, but worked in IO::Socket::INET:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chomp($var = <$socket>);
|
||
|
|
print ord(chop($var)); # Prints "10" for people using ASCII
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is due to a bug in Perl that is fixed in 5.8.1. If you need
|
||
|
|
a workaround, try one of the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chomp($var = $socket->getline());
|
||
|
|
chomp($var = scalar <$socket>);
|
||
|
|
chomp($var = $var = <$socket>);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any function that returns the value of <$socket> (in scalar context)
|
||
|
|
unchanged will work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have 384-bit RSA keys you need to use Diffie Hellman Key Exchange.
|
||
|
|
See the parameter SSL_dh_file or SSL_dh for how to use it and
|
||
|
|
http://groups.google.de/group/mailing.openssl.users/msg/d60330cfa7a6034b
|
||
|
|
for an explanation why you need it.
