I'm running Strawberry Perl 5.32.1.1 (64bit) on Windows Server 2019 and I'm unable to use XMLRPC::Lite to make HTTPS requests. Code previously ran with no trouble on what's now an ancient ActivePerl 32bit installation.

Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket"

I'm not exactly an advanced Perler. I updated all sorts of modules, and took a peek inside LWP/Protocol/https.pm , but I haven't really learned anything other than LWP::Protocol::https::Socket is defined in https.pm and.. it must be inheriting everything because it doesn't define a new() of its own..? 
use XMLRPC::Lite;

$xmlrpc = XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('https://server/path');
$xmlrpc->transport()->ssl_opts( verify_hostname => 0 );
    
my $call = $xmlrpc->call( 'RPC.method', 'password', 'someParam');
