Hello Monks,

I'm working on a simple script to retrieve JSON from an HTTPS web service. The code is being developed on a Windows 2008 server with Active Perl. The script reports an error on compilation, but then successfully retrieves the desired JSON from the Server. I've put substantial effort into eliminating the error and now seek assistance. Here is the declaration and the error:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
#use diagnostics;

use JSON -support_by_pp;
use LWP 6.04;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Protocol::https;
use Net::SSLeay 1.63;
use IO::Socket::SSL 1.997;

Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at blib\lib\Net\SSLeay.pm (autosplit into blib\lib\auto\Net\SSLeay\randomize.al) line 912.

Based on a few similar problems found on the internet, I have verified my LWP modules. I have updated to the latest SSLeay Module (which required force install with ppm). I have also installed OpenSSL 1.0.1h from slproweb.com (although when I verify using https://gist.github.com/dolmen/10096474, it confirms 1.0.1g) .

I would greatly appreciate guidance to resolve this issue.
