I am new to SSL and I've made a simple shopping cart that works great in http:// but I can't seem to run it in the SSL that's installed and in which I can browse the rest of the site just fine in https://. However, when I go to the perl script directory I get an error: 404
    Not Found
    The requested URL /cgi-bin/shop.cgi was not found on this server.

I've used the super seaches to find out how possible causes and so far I've learned I need to use a module or two allow https to allow the execution. Node 348806 Seems somewhat helpfull, and I've tried implementing parts of the code to mine, yet no luck. So I still don't get it.

Searching my server for SSL or HTTPS installed modules, I've found only these:
LWP::Protocol::https
LWP::Protocol::https10
URI::https
Net::HTTPS
Crypt::SSLeay     «sounds usefull
Net::SSLeay::Handle     «sounds usefull
Net::SSLeay     «sounds usefull
Net::SSL

Can someone please show me some examples? Or if you think it's worth installing a new module on the server, I can try and request it from the providers...

I'm accessing the file directly and also through SHTML
Here's the top portion of my code if it helps:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI ':standard';
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser";
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Protocol::https;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $request = POST 'https://myurl.com/cgi-bin/shop.cgi',
                  [ UserID   => $uid,
                    Password  => $upass,
                  ];

if (!param()) { gofresh(); } 
elsif (param('start') =~ /mid/) { gofresh(2); }
elsif (param('start') =~ /img/) { viewimg(); }
elsif (param('start') =~ /checkout/) { checkout(); }
elsif (param('start') =~ /addcart/) { $itnum=param('itnum');
&addtocart($itnum); print redirect( "../shop/#$itnum" ); }
elsif (param('start') =~ /remove/) { $itnum=param('itnum');
&remove(param('itnum')); print redirect( "../shop/#$itnum" ); }
elsif (param('start') =~ /shopdone/) { &addtocart(param('itnum'));
paybill(); }
elsif (param('start') =~ /paybill/) { paybill(); }
else { print redirect( "../shop/" ); exit; }

Also most of the documentation on CPAN is over my head and they seem to have changed some of their setup... Thank you for your help in advance. JB
