Description : OpenSSL bindings in perl
The OpenSSL perl module binds a subset of the OpenSSL library (mostly
digest and cipher algorithms) into perl.
- ---------------------
Note: this seems to have some overlap with Net::SSLeay; i've sent mail
to both upstreams asking if they're interested in consolidation or
some other collaborative approach. I want this packaged for DEbian
because there are useful things in this module (such as CAST5 cipher
and RIPEMD160 digests) which are otherwise not directly available in
perl through debian, as far as i can tell.
Re: licensing: the current version doesn't have explicit licensing in
the source. I exchanged mails directly with the upstream author, and
he confirmed that it is licensed under the same terms as perl (GPL or
Artistic). The next release will include the license as part of the
package.
I'm also attempting to join the debian perl packaging team, so
hopefully this package will come into the archive under their aegis.
