This perl module provides support for the https protocol under LWP,
so that a LWP::UserAgent can make https GET & HEAD & POST requests.
Please see perldoc LWP for more information on POST requests.

The Crypt::SSLeay package contains Net::SSL, which is automatically
loaded by LWP::Protocol::https on https requests, and provides the
necessary SSL glue for that module to work via these deprecated
modules:

   Crypt::SSLeay::CTX
   Crypt::SSLeay::Conn
   Crypt::SSLeay::X509

Work on Crypt::SSLeay has been continued only to provide https
support for the LWP - libwww perl libraries. If you want access to
the OpenSSL API via perl, check out Sampo's Net::SSLeay.
