I would strongly suggest using LWP::UserAgent. It you want to do it with raw sockets then you really need to understand the HTTP and SSL protocols in more detail than it appears you do. I would almost certainly expect that an https connection would be using POST for its data, in which case sending it using GET is not going to work.

If you have a good reason to do it at a lower level then: 

use IO::Socket::SSL 'debug4';  # levels 1-4 available

Alternatively use LWP 

use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; )");  # Lie
+ ;-)
my $req = new HTTP::Request POST => 'https://wherever.com/register.cgi
+';
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content('match=www&errors=0');
my $res = $ua->request($req);
print $res->is_success ? $res->content : "Error: ".$res->as_string;
