Sockets, secure?

[Phil Karras]

OK, I was told that to do what I wanted to do (in PHP) they use a secure socket.

In my Perl books I see some info about sockets but nothing on how to open a secure socket, and really nothing on how to actuall use it/them.

Any & all help appreciated.

Generally speaking SSL is purely a server configuration issue. Exactly what is your requirement?

I'm trying to pass information to a secure credit-card site such that I can pick out the info I need on my customer's site, and pass the rest on with the addition of the my customer's user ID, password, etc so the CC site knows my customer is a valid member for this service and will then get the client's CC number etc as needed to either confirm the CC or deny the transaction.
