Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported???

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

I have a LWP script that works just find under cygwin. Now I need to make it work under Solaris 8. I have installed Perl 5.8 on my Sun system. (before my sysadmin changed the password ;)) I have installed the follow perl modules:

Crypt-SSLeay-0.49
HTML-Parser-3.27
HTML-Tagset-3.03
URI-1.23
libwww-perl-5.69

I have installed these Perl modules like so:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/LameNerd
[download]

Praise be to to abbot cranz.
When I run my script I get this ...

bash-2.03$ ./myLittleScript -F somedumbthing
Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported./myLittleScript: Failure: do_
+logon failed
[download]

And I am pretty sure I have OpenSSL installed. My sys admin doesn't like me so maybe I don't have OpenSSL installed. How could I tell?

LWP probes for https support avialability by loading module LWP::Parallel::Protocol::https. If it fails LWP says that scheme 'https' is not supported (and normally it fails if you don't have SSL support modules installed). So try to load it manually and find from error message what exactly is missing: `perl -MLWP::Parallel::Protocol::https -e1` [download] -- Ilya Martynov, ilya@iponweb.net CTO IPonWEB (UK) Ltd Quality Perl Programming and Unix Support UK managed @ offshore prices - http://www.iponweb.net Personal website - http://martynov.org	[reply] [d/l]

I'd figure out who is complaining via `$ perl -MCarp=verbose myLittleScript -F somedumpthing` [download] so you can see why they don't support https:// (read that module's documentation and/or source code). My guess is that they are looking for Net::SSL. - tye	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks Saint tye `bash-2.03$ perl -MCarp=verbose myLittleScript -F somedumpthing can't access https://www.nottherealthing.com/theThing Can't connect to www.nottherealthing.com:443 (Bad hostname 'www.notthe +realthing.com') myLittleScript: Failure: do_logon failed` [download] I am beginning to suspect that not only is my Sys Admin mean to me I am beginning to think she doesn't know how to set up the firewall! The PC that my script works from is not behind a my "Sys Admin's" firewall. It is behind a firewall, just not one set up by my sys admin. The Unix system where my script does not work is behind my "Sys Admin's" firewall. I just need to make sure that I all the Perl stuff installed correctly before I accuse my Sys Admin's firewall set up. Office politics and all.	[reply] [d/l]

`"perldoc perllocal"` will give you a listing of all the modules you have installed. To see if OpenSSL is working properly, the easiest way might be to run the test suite that ships with the module. Just a tongue-tied, twisted, earth-bound misfit. -- Pink Floyd	[reply] [d/l]

Update I do have OpenSSL installed. Here's how I am determining this: `bash-2.03$ pwd /usr/local/ssl/bin bash-2.03$ ./openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

What does `perl -V` say about `@INC`? Is it actually looking for modules in the directories in your home? Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
