Actually, no, this is telling me something else entirely.  I tried to
view the certificate assigned to this host and got this:

# openssl s_client -showcerts -connect localhost:993
connect: Connection refused
connect:errno=61

I suspect that there is something wrong with the certificates used by
this host.  And I have a reasonable idea as to what that problem is. 
The host name does not match that on the certificate.

Does anybody out there want a small perl gig to get an old piece of
software running again on FreeBSD-11.

# perl -v

This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 3 (v5.24.3) built for
amd64-freebsd-thread-multi


It runs fine on CentOS-6.

# perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi


I use it to manage our PKI certificates.  If I have to then I will
load a VM with CentOS-6 and run it there.  But I would rather have it
run natively on FreeBSD.  The code is available at
https://github.com/byrnejb/rcsp.

This is a real offer. I do not have time to learn what changed between
5.10 and 5.20. If someone will get this working for me then I will pay
them a reasonable fee; to be negotiated in advance and paid upon
successful completion.

Thanks,
