I suppose you mean using Crypt:SSLeay via LWP: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $resp = $ua->post(
       "https://www.website.ws/members/index.dhtml",
        [
            userid   => 'foo',
            pwd      => 'bar',
            language => 'english',
            form     => 1,
            page     => '',
            func     => '',
            pagedrop => '',
        ]
    );

if ($resp->is_success) {
    print $resp->decoded_content;
} else {
    print $resp->status_line;
}
