[jdev] Net::Jabber and SSL

Is there a problem with Net::Jabber and SSL?  I am trying to use a script to
connect to my Jabber server using Net::Jabber but I cannot seem to connect
to port 5223 using SSL.  I will admit that I don't know much about Perl or
Net::Jabber so any help with this is appreciated.  See the connect line
below.  

$Connection->Connect(hostname=>"jabber2.uark.edu",port=>5223,ssl=>1);

I have the debug level set to 2 and the debug output looks like this:

[jabber at jabber2 scripts]$ ./connect.test.pl
XML::Stream: new: hostname = (jabber2.uark.edu)
XML::Stream: SetCallBacks: tag(node) func(CODE(0x8f61698))
XMPP::Conn: SetCallBacks: tag(message) func(CODE(0x8f67ae4))
XMPP::Conn: SetCallBacks: tag(presence) func(CODE(0x8f617f4))
XMPP::Conn: SetCallBacks: tag(iq) func(CODE(0x8f61794))
XMPP::Conn: SetDirectXPathCallBacks:
xpath(/[@xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-tls"]) func(CODE(0x8f67df0))
XMPP::Conn: SetDirectXPathCallBacks:
xpath(/[@xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl"]) func(CODE(0x8f69ed0))
XMPP::Conn: Connect: host(jabber2.uark.edu:5223) namespace(jabber:client)
XMPP::Conn: Connect: timeout(10)
XML::Stream: Connect: type(tcpip)
XML::Stream: Connect: Convert normal socket to SSL
XML::Stream: Connect: sock(IO::Socket::INET=GLOB(0x8f6a14c))
XML::Stream: LoadSSL: Load the IO::Socket::SSL module
step1  step2[jabber at jabber2 scripts]$

If I change the port to 5222 and set ssl=>0 it connects just fine. 

$Connection->Connect(hostname=>"jabber2.uark.edu",port=>5222,ssl=>0);

As you can see the last line of the debug references the IO::Socket::SSL
module.  Is there a problem with the IO::Socket::SSL module?  At first I
suspected my SSL configuration on my jabber server but it fails the same way
on two other jabber servers that I have tried to connect to.  Still, I am
not ruling out my SSL setup on my server. Any help will be very much
appreciated.  This is about to kill my Jabber deployment for good.
