I am building a web server based on the HTTP::Daemon::SSL module. While testing I noticed that sending a request via http:// causes the server to die without any indication as to why. 
#simple HTTPS web server. (must have a ./certs directory with server-k
+ey.pem and server-cert.pem or server won't start)
use HTTP::Daemon::SSL;
my $d = HTTP::Daemon::SSL->new(LocalPort => '443') || die $!;
print "HTTPS server running at: ", $d->url, "\n";
while (my $c = $d->accept) {
    while (my $r = $c->get_request) {
      $c->send_file_response('./index.html');
    }
    $c->close;
    undef($c);
}

Requesting https://localhost in a web browser works fine, but if I request http://localhost:443 the perl script dies. Any ideas? ...I am running ActiveState Perl 5.10 on Windows XP
