Hi Andrew,
I finally took the time to wrap up a tar.gz and a README file for my patch
giving "ssl awareness" to Mon::Client.
Content is significantly cleaner that the one I proposed last december :
explanations are clearer I hope, the patch is against Mon-0.11, things
that weren't properly working because of bugs in Net::SSLeay are not a
problem anymore since the recent versions of Net::SSLeay solved those
bugs.

Here it is :
mon-ssl 0.2
This is a patch to let people use SSL encryption and authentication
between a mon client and a mon server. There is a patch to Mon::Client
for the client side of SSL and for the server side, documentation
explains how to use an ssl wrapper to connect with SSL to a mon server.
Using mon with SSL will typically will be usefull to you if you want to
monitor remote servers (collocated) but want to avoid eavesdropping or
people playing with your mon server.
Quite precise documentation is given in the README file.

A README file is in the archive.
Any comment/question/patch/correction/joke welcome, especially on the
quality of my engligh - which is not my mother tongue.
