I'm going to go ahead and ask for help even though I know the problem may be a fubar'd system. I'm setting up pinto and am trying my first "pull" from CPAN, and getting an error:

Failed to mirror https://cpan.perl.org/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed)

Thing is, LWP::Protocol::https certainly is installed, as are the dependencies Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL. Is it something pinto is doing, manipulating @INC or otherwise causing this failure?

Thank you again (I seem to post in SoPW once a week these days!), good Monks.
