From bfad135411face58f9b980cffee47dabffd01f73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?K=C5=8Dan?= Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 03:23:44 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: drain full OpenSSL error queue in croakSsl() croakSsl() called ERR_get_error() once, which returns the oldest error from the queue. When OpenSSL pushes multiple errors for a single operation, or when a previous eval-caught failure leaves stale errors, the reported message could be wrong or misleading. Loop ERR_get_error() until the queue is empty and report the last (most recent) error, which is typically the most descriptive. This also removes the need for a separate ERR_clear_error() call since the loop fully drains the queue. Add t/error_queue.t to verify error messages remain meaningful after multiple eval-caught failures.
