Hello, I have a background in python but I am new at working with perl. Any help would be appreciated! I have been passed a piece of code to essentially go into the website: Service Now and pull out records in a key: value format by interacting with JSON. A colleague of mine has identical access to me and he is able to run everything fine. We both use the same network location of Perl 5.12.2 as well. He will get the desired output, but I will not. The only difference I could think of is that he is running windows XP whereas I am running windows 7. Is there any known issue with running perl 5.12.2, windows 7 and connecting to https websites? I have included the modules we are using below (and some we tried), but please let me know and I will post the full code if you are interested in this problem. 

use strict;
use warnings;
use JSON;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
#use LWP::Protocol::https;
#use Net::SSL ();
use URI::Escape;
use Term::ReadKey;
use Data::Dumper;

#this is my error message
500 Can't connect to xxxxxx.service-now.com:443 (An invalid argument w
+as supplied.)
