+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::SSLGlue - add/extend SSL support for common perl modules
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Some commonly used perl modules don't have SSL support at all, even if the
+protocol supports it. Others have SSL support, but most of them don't do
+proper checking of the server's certificate.
+
+The C<Net::SSLGlue::*> modules try to add SSL support or proper certificate
+checking to these modules. Currently support for the following modules is
+available:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Net::SMTP - add SSL from beginning or using STARTTLS
+
+=item Net::POP3 - add SSL from beginning or using STLS
+
+=item Net::FTP  - add SSL and IPv6 support to Net::FTP
+
+=item Net::LDAP - add proper certificate checking
+
+=item LWP - add proper certificate checking for older LWP versions
+
+=back
+
+There is also a Net::SSLGlue::Socket package which combines ssl and non-ssl
+and ipv6 capabilities to make it easier to enhance modules based on
+IO::Socket::INET.
