I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

IO::Socket::SSL version 1.70 crashes ASSP 1.9
Hello I use IO::Socket::SSL with ASSP (antispam proxy http://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/files/ ) from some year with no problem at all. It's used by ASSP to provide TLS smtp connections . Yesterday I updated to IO::Socket::SSL 1.70 (from 1.68) and ASSP started to crash with this error invalid SSL_version specified at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 308 Could it be a perl module bug ? Thank you Graziano

Re: IO::Socket::SSL version 1.70 crashes ASSP 1.9
the problem is with ASSP. They use the SSL_version parameter of IO::Socket::SSL in a way which was never documented. It only worked because it ignored wrong values until version 1.70, but with 1.70 additional functionality was added to SSL_version so that it now needs to check the syntax and rejects bad values.
You might fix the issue for you if you delete any references to SSL_version from assp/assp.pl
