SSL Capable NetCat

"You all know what is netcat (written by Hobbit in 1996), how to use it and that it should have been integrated in all UNIX systems a long time ago. netcat lacked some features, and I tried to add them in this Perl version. For example, SSL support, TCP and UDP proxying and IPv4/IPv6 proxying features. This is now done, unless I missed a bug. Now, enjoy." - Author
