[This message has been submitted as a wishlist bug against wnpp; the bug number is 80584.]
Crypt::SSLeay allows LWP::UserAgent objects (among others) to correctly perform GET and POST operations over HTTPS. Since it uses SSL, the package will depend on libssl095a (and build-depend on the appropriate -dev package, of course). I downloaded my copy of the upstream sources from ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CPAN/authors/C/CH/CHAMAS/Crypt-SSLeay-0.18.tar.gz. Copyright: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. All that remains is to work out appropriate build-time dependencies, remove the interactive build-time configuration, test the package, and upload it. -- ``Banks *are* bastards.'' -- John Laws
