Downloaded and built Perl 5.14.2 on Solaris SPARC v10 system. Trying to install the REST::Client module, which depends on LWP::Protocol::https. This LWP::Protocol::https module fails to install with these error messages:

The tests for 'LWP::Protocol::https' failed. Would you like me to proc
+eed anyway or should we abort?

[download]

I can ping www.apache.org, and I have network connectivity (used cpanp to download the module in the first place). Any ideas on what could be causing the tests to fail? Incidently, I had a Solaris x86 v10 system that installed fine.
