You need: require IO::Socket::SSL; eval { IO::Socket::SSL->import(qw(SSL_VERIFY_NONE SSL_VERIFY_PEER)); }; if ($@) { warn "Not using SSL_VERIFY_PEER due to outdated IO::Socket::SSL\n"; # Do something different here. } I didn't stick the require in the eval because git-send-email will fail in this case anyway if you don't have it, since Net::SMTP::SSL requires it. Let me know if you want a patch for this on top of the existing two in this series and I'll provide one. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
