I submitted this case for Mark Phalan on Monday but for some reason it never
went out to the PSARC
mailing list. I am emailing it here for the record.

1. Introduction
1.1. Project/Component Working Name:
Net::SSLeay - Perl extension for using OpenSSL
1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier:
Mark Phalan
1.3. Date of This Document:
16 March, 2009
2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
Integreate Net::SSLeay into Solaris. Net::SSLeay is a Perl
extension for using OpenSSL.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
Net::SSLeay provides two Perl modules:
Net::SSLeay.pm
Net::SSLeay::Handle.pm
From Net::SSLeay.3:
"This module offers some high level convinience functions for accessing
web pages on SSL servers (for symmetry, same API is offered for
accessing http servers, too), a sslcat() function for writing your own
clients, and finally access to the SSL api of SSLeay/OpenSSL package so
you can write servers or clients for more complicated applications."
From Net::SSLeay::Handle.3:
"Perl module that lets SSL (HTTPS) sockets be handled as standard file
handles."
The current version of Net::SSLeay will be taken as-is and integreated
with Solaris. No changes are planned.
4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
6759600 include perl bindings for openssl

Perl 5 with Solaris and
PSARC 2003/661 Update Perl
to version 5.8.x.
OpenSSL External PSARC 2003/500
A contracted with the OpenSSL project will be signed before integration.
4.6. Doc Impact:
New manpages will be introduced which cover the two Perl modules.
Net::SSLeay.3
Net::SSLeay::Handle.3
4.10. Packaging & Delivery:
SUNWperl-net-ssleay
4.11. Security Impact:
This case adds Perl language bindings to OpenSSL and provides
no other significant additional functionality related to security.
It is only functional if OpenSSL is also on the system.
4.12. Dependencies:
PSARC 2003/500 OpenSSL in /usr/sfw
PSARC 2006/019 OpenSSL upgrade to 0.9.8a
PSARC 2006/555 Move OpenSSL to usr
PSARC 1999/192 Including Perl 5 with Solaris
PSARC 2003/661 Update Perl
