I'm following the instructions on CPAN for setting up SSL (http://search.cpan.org/~hobbestig/Dancer-Plugin-RequireSSL-0.121331/lib/Dancer/Plugin/RequireSSL.pm) and I'm not sure whether it's working.

My perl dancer script loads up fine with no errors or warnings but it looks like the URL is still HTTP, is that just because I'm accessing it through localhost:3000? Trying to access https://localhost:3000 just tells me the page doesn't exist.

Will it work fine once I deploy the website to a real server or is there still something I have to configure for it to work (do I have to install SSL somehow)? Do I have to set the port to 80 or 443 instead of the default 3000?
