> hand written Perl (please tell me nobody did this)

I've not had a need, but I wrote a just enough protocol code for TLS 1.3 in Erlang as a prototype, and it wouldn't be awful in Perl with pack/unpack; binary matching is a lot nicer in Erlang though. :P

Used that prototype to inform development of a Java implementation of TLS 1.3 protocol only (crypto and certificate parsing and verification through system libraries) to get consistent TLS 1.3 features on a very popular Android app. I think Google has a thing you can do to get a TLS 1.3 capable stack now, but not then.

With the TLS illustrated series [1] it would be easier than when I did it. The test vectors in the TLS 1.3 rfcs and drafts are very nice to have too.
