Hi

I totally agree with you. I also used Just WWW::Mechanize in my home PC to connect to https site and download. But the problem occurs in my office PC, Which is behind HTTPS proxy and When i try to access https site i had a problem.

So, I tried many things and the above solution only works for me. I put it here as a information so other monks can try it if they face similar issues.
This does not mean , This is the only solution or I dis agree with you. Even as I mentioned, Normal WWW::Mechanize in Linux works for me but failed in Windows 7 + Active Perl 5.10 + HTTPS proxy situation.

Thanks & Regards,
