Hi, my code is as follows 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use Crypt::SSLeay;


# proxy
$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY}='http://proxy:8080/';

my $mechanize = WWW::Mechanize->new(noproxy => 0);
$mechanize->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file=>"mechcookies.txt",auto
+save => 1)); 
$mechanize->proxy(['http', 'https'], 'http://proxy:8080/');

$mechanize->credentials('http://www.site.com/dashboard','ABCDEF','logi
+n', 'pass');

$mechanize->get('http://www.site.com/dashboard');
#my $result = $mechanize->submit_form(form_id => 'signin',fields => { 
+login => 'login', password => 'pass'});
#print "$result"
$mechanize->save_content('dump.html');

the problem is that it fails with retrieving https pages. I've tried adding the HTTPS_PROXY env, added noproxy => 0, I've tried going to a protected page by sending my credentials and it redirects to the home page. I'm lost. What do i do?
