Maybe ASSP should only support newer versions of Perl. > 2. IO::Socket::IP is a "do not think about IP" module - it misses several > control mechanism required by assp > 3.

I don't code in perl, nor do I prefer it. Thus not being familiar with it from that perspective. I code in Java and C. But I have been around it, touched it, played with it, have books on it, etc. Just not a fan of perl, personal preference. > >Clearly others and myself are having strange issues that likely stem from > > Perl > > Tell me more about the strange issues. I have experienced all kinds. Trying to limit SSL to say TLS1.2, I had ASSP end up in strange states where it was running, connections were taking place, but it would not process any email. Reverting to allowing other SSL connections that problem goes away. Someone recently reported ASSP crashing, though that can be due to a variety of things. I have also seen ASSP crash within the last year due to Perl updates and changes. What forced me to upgrade to v2 was changes in Perl and modules. Another reported ASSP going zombie, which again was likely more due to update in Perl than ASSP as that was v1 like my previous issues with v1. There might have been more but those are just off hand. Again this is not really ASSP code base, as its Perl. But maybe ASSP does need to start requiring newer versions of Perl given there seem to be some major changes between the revisions. -- William L.
