hi,
Iam running a Client/Server application written in C++ on Windows platform.
I have enabled SSL communication for the same.
I followed the instructions from www.openSSL.org, downloaded Openssl-engine, installed ActivePerl on both Client and Server machines and used SSL library functions in my program.
 
SSL communication worked fine.
 
As part of testing I then uninistalled ActivePerl on both machines, and expected SSL communication to fail.
However to my surprise SSL communication still worked fine.
 
At the first place, I need to know why Active Perl is required on Client/Server machine??
What role does ActivePerl play for any SSL transaction?
Is it perfectly alright to do SSL communication without ActivePerl installed on Client/Server machines ?

Thanx in advance.
Rajiv
