Using a SunFire V440 with Solaris 10.

From the GLOBAL zone, the API works correctly, and returns the expected results from PayPal.

The server that will actually be handling the gateway is a zone on this server. This zone inherits /lib, /platform, /sbin, and /usr from the global zone.

Running the same test API from the zone fails with:

500: Can't connect to api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com:443 (Crypt-SSLeay can't verify hostnames)

Most Google answers suggest that either some libraries are missing, or to configure the LWP connection to NOT verify hostnames.

I would just do the latter, but it WAS working in the global zone...

Any suggestions as to where to look would be appreciated.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
