Dear Monks

I need to retrive a https webpage. The following script fails on my macOS HighSierra (Perl 5.22) :

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

my $url='https://SOMEPAGE';
my $agent = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$agent->timeout(8);
my $response = $agent->get($url);
    if ($response->is_error) {
        print $response->code . "\n";
        print $response->message . "\n";
    }
    else{
        print my $HTML = $response->decoded_content();
    }

With the following error:

501
Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not ins
+talled)
[download]

Installing LWP::Protocol::https fails because it fails to install the dependency Net::SSLeay. Now the question is: do I have some alternatives without installing things in my machine outside of Perl? To install Net::SSLeay I need to install something like openssl (brew install openssl). But I want to distribute my tool and I do not want the users to do this, as they are not computer savvy. Do you thing there are other options, pure Perl options?
