+This perl module provides support for the https protocol under LWP,
+so that a LWP::UserAgent can make https GET & HEAD & POST requests.
+Please see perldoc LWP for more information on POST requests.
+
+The Crypt::SSLeay package contains Net::SSL, which is automatically
+loaded by LWP::Protocol::https on https requests, and provides the
+necessary SSL glue for that module to work via these deprecated
+modules:
+
+ Crypt::SSLeay::CTX
+ Crypt::SSLeay::Conn
+ Crypt::SSLeay::X509
+
+Work on Crypt::SSLeay has been continued only to provide https
+support for the LWP - libwww perl libraries. If you want access to
+the OpenSSL API via perl, check out Sampo's Net::SSLeay.
