Bug#606243: libio-socket-ssl-perl: IO::Socket::SSL fails when verify_callback is supplied without ca_path or ca_file

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: libio-socket-ssl-perl
Version: 1.35-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

if i supply a verify_callback to IO::Socket::SSL, but fail to supply
ca_file or ca_path (and the default ca_file and ca_path locations are
not populated), initialization fails.

This is silly because i'm using my own verify_callback, and so i
don't need to give OpenSSL a ca_file or ca_path.

The attached patch fixes it for me.
