NAME

6       Net::connect - Connect to a server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       NetHandle  connect(  Protocol  proto,  String  server,  Int  port, Bool
10       usetls=false, [String] certfiles=[] )
11

ARGUMENTS

13       proto The network protocol to use
14
15       server The hostname or IP address of the server  to  connect  to  (e.g.
16       service.example.com , localhost or 192.168.20.25 )
17
18       port The network port to connect to
19
20       usetls If this is true, and the TLS library is available, then the con‐
21       nection will be encrypted. This parameter may be omitted  and  defaults
22       to false.
23
24       certs  An  optional list of certificate files for TLS encrypted connec‐
25       tions. Each file should contain one or  more  PEM-encoded  certificates
26       for  a  trusted  certification  authority.  If  this list is empty (the
27       default), no certificate verification will be  performed  on  encrypted
28       connections, which is insecure.
