Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I use Net::SSLeay + IO::Socket::SSL to support LWP::Protocol::https access. I have made IO::Socket::SSL work. But I can't glue it with LWP. In making test of installation of IO::Socket::SSL.. For https sites I have certificate, I got request 1: failed: 'Can't locate object method "FILENO" via package "IO::Socket::SSL"'. For https sites I don't have certificate, I got request 3: failed: 'Can't connect to www.verisign.com:443 (Timeout)'. anybody know how to make LWP with the IO::Socket::SSL together? And, I've tried Crypt::SSLeay. When I use LWP::UserAgent to access a https site, it simply said 500 Can't connect to www.verisign.com:443 (Timeout)

    Did you install OpenSSL first?

    If you didn't, then get the source from OpenSSL
