+%description
+This module is a true drop-in replacement for IO::Socket::INET that uses
+SSL to encrypt data before it is transferred to a remote server or
+client.	 IO::Socket::SSL supports all the extra features that one 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.
+
+If you have never used SSL before, you should read the appendix labelled 'Using SSL'
+before attempting to use this module.
+
+If you have used this module before, read on, as versions 0.93 and above
+have several changes from the previous IO::Socket::SSL versions (especially
+see the note about return values).
+
+If you are using non-blocking sockets read on, as version 0.98 added better
+support for non-blocking.
+
+If you are trying to use it with threads see the BUGS section.
