The following isn't necessarily the "proper way",
but it's something that came to mind.
I find it useful when debugging Perl CGI stuff
for https:// servers to use `stunnel`. It's like
telnet but uses SSL protocol. Example:
$ stunnel -cr foo.com:443
GET /cgi-bin/store.pl HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2001 21:32:06 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
location: /store/index.html
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain
There I used it like a telnet client.
You can also pipe stuff to it (actually,
you can pipe stuff to telnet, too).
I'm not sure offhand how to get LWP::Simple
to use stunnel, though.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
