NAME

    Alien::LibreSSL - Alien wrapper for LibreSSL (alternative to OpenSSL)

VERSION

    version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

    EUMM:

     use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
     use Alien::Base::Wrapper qw( Alien::LibreSSL !export );
     
     WriteMakefile(
       ...
       CONFIGURE => {
         'Alien::Build::Wrapper' => 0,
         'Alien::LibreSSL'       => 0,
       },
       Alien::Base::Wrapper->mm_args,
     );

    MB:

     use Module::Build;
     use Alien::Base::Wrapper qw( Alien::LibreSSL !export );
     
     my $build = Module::Build->new(
       ...
       configure_requires => {
         'Alien::Build::Wrapper' => 0,
         'Alien::LibreSSL'       => 0,
       },
       Alien::Base::Wrapper->mb_args,
       ...
     );
     
     $build->create_build_script;

    Perl script:

     use Alien::LibreSSL;
     use Env qw( @PATH );
     
     unshift @PATH, 'Alien::LibreSSL->bin_dir;
     system 'openssl ...';

DESCRIPTION

    This module provides an implementation of SSL. It will use the system
    SSL, if it can be found. If the system does not provide SSL, this alien
    will download and build LibreSSL, a drop in replacement for OpenSSL

 Motiviations

    SSL has lots of pitfalls. SSL on Perl has all of those pitfalls plus
    some more. Once you get Net::SSLeay you are mostly out of the woods.
    Getting Net::SSLeay to install can be problematic on some platforms. My
    hope is that some combination of this module and Alien::OpenSSL will
    one day make it easier to install Net::SSLeay.
