I've upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 which has openssl-1.0.1

My GET command now fails, because:
openssl s_client -connect server.com:443 fails.

From reading about the problem, I'm not sure openssl is going to fix this, it may be considered a "broken" server (but it's not my server to fix.)

My Perl question is: Since adding the -ssl3 option to s_client
openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect server.com:443 works. Is there's a way to set an ENV or configuration file so that GET and POST's will use the -ssl3 option.

UPDATE

I'm using GET's and POST's in shell scripts.
