What i am trying to do is send xml data to a url that possesses a self signed cert. 
use Win32::OLE;
    
my $xml = 'some xml date not important to problem';
my $SendObject = Win32::OLE->new('WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1');
#this is a problem...this is suppose to ignore error flags
$SendObject->SetProperty('Option', 4);
$SendObject->open("POST", "https://url", "false");
$SendObject->setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml");
$SendObject->send($xml);
my $response = $SendObject->responseText;

if(Win32::OLE->LastError()){
  print "\n\n".Win32::OLE->LastError()."\n\n"; 
}

[download]
the response i get is:
Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x8000000a: "The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available" in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "responseText"

The response is coming back blank. I noticed in the OLE browser the following winhttprequestsslerrorflags and there is an ignoreall flag there but i do not know how to set it.

I need to be able to ignore the cert error message and process the request and get valid information back...any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

*************UPDATE*****************
$SendObject->SetProperty('Option', 4, 0x3300);

this will ignore the flags apparently in release winHttp 5.1 by default ignore all flag means ignore none of them unless you set it to 0x3300
