I cannot avoid to ask... but requesting a certificate from a client is quite strange in a HTTPS request.

Are you positive about this authentication method? I honest don't know any that works like that.

For HTTPS requests, the server will send an certificate that your client may accept or not.

Anyway... here is something that may help you (or not, since I completetly clueless about this authentication schema of yours): http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/wa-perlsecure.html
