Thanks for bumping.  I remember seeing the mail but forgot about it.

I have tested your patch on my local machine, but it's still blocking.  I
dug into the IO::Socket::SSL code and it seems that it still does blocking
behavior unless you get fancy and manage the reading/writing yourself with
the WANT flags.

So I spent the last number of hours and took your patch as a start and
followed it to the logical conclusion.  I've committed my work in revision
708:

    http://code.sixapart.com/trac/perlbal/changeset/708/

Would love to get some eyes and hands on that.  I still don't recommend
Perlbal SSL for production load.

Thanks Greg for motivating this.  :)
