Dear Monks

I am trying to connect to https web site (actually it is collabnet site, we have project tracker in it) and trying to download some content.

Since it is password protected page, I used WWW::Mechanize module. (Activeperl 5.14, x64, windows 7). I do have Crypt::SSLeay comes with ActivePerl 5.14

When I tried to get the content from web site using below code, I get Error GETing https://www.collabnet.com/: Can't connect to www.collabnet.com:443 (certificate verify failed) Error

What I know is, I need to set HTTPS_CA_DIR path but i do not know where should I point this in windows os. This https://www.collabnet.com/ is perfectly working using internet explorer.

Here is my code, Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks in Advance

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

#Globals
my $browser;
my $url;

#Down load the CCB search queries
$browser=WWW::Mechanize->new(agent=>'Windows IE 6',cookie_jar => {},no
+proxy =>1);

#$url=http://www.google.com - works
$url='https://www.collabnet.com/';


$browser->get($url);


print $browser->content(format=>'text');

UPDATE: Solved :)
Hi Monks,
I have solved this problem. I do not want my perl application to verify host certificate, so I exported following environment variable ,
$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME}=0;
Everything works well :)

Learning: Need to read LWP doc properly
