How To Install perl-IO-Socket-SSL on Rocky Linux 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-IO-Socket-SSL on Rocky Linux 8.
What is perl-IO-Socket-SSL
This module is a true drop-in replacement for IO uses SSL to encrypt data before it is transferred to a remote server or client. IO needs to write a full-featured SSL client or server application multiple SSL contexts, cipher selection, certificate verification, and SSL version selection. As an extra bonus, it works perfectly with mod_perl.
We can use yum or dnf to install perl-IO-Socket-SSL on Rocky Linux 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install perl-IO-Socket-SSL.
