Take a look at the code of Webmin, it uses a Perl based webserver that can use SSL if available. http://www.webmin.com I have a chapter online introducing the main SSL concepts, it is focused on apache but it should be useful for the basics: http://www.apacheworld.org/ty24/ then, for the programming side of things, this is a good book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/059600270X As a reference book, I found this one invaluable: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201615983
