I am rewriting an awful monitoring script we use to monitor our numerous webservers.

Since I'm already writing it, I am just going to figure out if I can finally make the https requests work (for our https only servers). This script has been unchanged in the 1.5 years I've been here, but I'm ready to make it work.

Question:

How do I make https requests using a simple perl module?

I could probably fumble through my own method (not really likely) but I would rather see if it has already been done. Thanks,
