Perl Use Net8 Encryption?

A Perl client app on Linux can successfully access an 8.1.7.4 DB via a listener on a non-standard port through a firewall. The Perl developer figured out where he has to configure the non-standard port# to connect to the DB.

However, we want this client to access the DB using native Net8 encryption, which works just fine using SQL*Plus from the client. We can't force the DB to require encryption, since there are lots of clients inside our firewall that don't have Net8 encryption configured.

Since the Perl connection is specified outside of tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora, how can I ensure that the Perl connection will use Net8 encryption?

BTW, I don't speak Perl and he doesn't speak Oracle.
