FYI, DBD::MySQL does support SSL. See http://search.cpan.org/~rudy/DBD-mysql-2.9004/lib/DBD/mysql.pm
and search for mysql_ssl. You'll need to provide mysql_ssl_client_key mysql_ssl_client_cert mysql_ssl_ca_file as part of the DSN on the perl side, and set ssl-ca, ssl-key, and ssl-cert on the server. There's more on the subject at mysql.com: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Secure_requirements.html ____________________________________________________________ Eamon Daly ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 11:12 AM Subject: RE: MySQL Secure Connection(e.g. SSL) Question > > I need to connect to a remote MySQL database from a PC using > > SSL.
