Inscrutable monks, I am trying to open an openssl connection to port 443 on a given host and GET the page. I do not wish to use expect. My code connects, but I see no html (doubtless I am doing something very wrong). Here's my pathetic code... 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
   use strict;
   my $url      = "https//somehost.domain.com/";
   my $url_port = "somehost.domain.com:443";
   my @SSL;

   open( SSL,"| /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl s_client -connect $url_port
+");
   print SSL "get $url\n";
   close(SSL);

   foreach (@SSL)
   {
      print;
   }

We're doing this (as opposed to using LWP) because LWP is reporting errors and the java software devilopers want proof it's not because of reported problems they've read regarding LWP. Thank you in advance,
