There was indeed a mismatch in the hostnames. I changed the hostname of the server and restarted apache. This however did not effect the error nor the debug information shown.

I tried connecting via openssl s_client to get some more information but I didn't really see anything strange. It mentioned that the cert was self-signed but didn't complain, typing "GET / HTTP/1.0" gave me the page just as going to it in a browser does.

The relevant output of "openssl s_client -connect 192.168.100.222:443" is given below

Maybe I should explicitly tell openssl s_client to use the certificate so its behavior is more similar to the perl code, but I couldn't find out how to do so..
