1.94 was released more than 6 years ago. I've released lots of new releases since then. I will not support such old releases since they are not intended to be used anymore.

Ok, thanks. By the way, dose these expired certs files influence the function of the software or they are only used to test something, as i noticed the whole certs file was install in my /usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-SSL/certs, these private key maybe not safe? Can i delete this file?

These certificates are only used within the test suite, i.e only for make test. They are not intended to be used outside of the test suite. It looks like that at least Fedora Linux copies these certificates also to /usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-SSL/certs for a reason I don't understand since they don't also copy the tests which use the certificates. It does not do any harm though except for being useless.

Thanks a lot!!!!
