I read that page which gave me the idea to enable debugging. It all works fine with a browser, the openssl commandline tool and the perl script with "verify_hostname=0" the different methods mention that the certificate is self-signed but the ssl connection is established just fine. To me this sounds like the problem is restricted purely to the certificate verification and not to say setting up the ssl encryption.

I would think that supplying the certificate to LWP and telling it to accept that certificate would be enough to make it work without turning the verification of....

As for the "util/analyze-ssl.pl", I don't know where to find that script. What do they mean by "in the distribution", which distribution?
