Configuring at the apache level is the most secure route ... but the following could be used as the base for redirecting to https. Hopefully all your requests are GETs. If not, I look forward to your next question on why you lose POST params on a redirect. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;

my $cgi = CGI->new;

my $proto = $cgi->protocol();

print $cgi->header,
      $cgi->start_html( 'protocol test'),
      $cgi->h1( 'proto is ' . $proto ),
      $cgi->end_html;
