NNTP over SSL

Hi All,

I am using Net::NNTP.pm to talk to my NNTP server which works
perfectly fine. But I am not sure about about how to do the same over
NNTPS protocol as well. As Net::NNTP uses IO::SOCKET::INET, I tried to
hack by modifying @ISA for IO::SOCKET::SSL but this doesnt work for me
rather it hangs while making the connection.

I am using a linux machine for my perl scripts. I could successfully
modified Net::IMAP::Simple.pm to use IO::SOCKET::SSL and my scripts
works pretty well with SSL enabled IMAP server.

I have been searching through the net for an NNTP perl module with SSL
feature but couldnt get any. (NNTPClient.pm also doesnt support SSL).

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks / Sukant

If you're willing to look at a non-perl solution, you could use
something like stunnel (http://www.stunnel.org/) to redirect a local
NNTP connection to an SSL service running elsewhere.
