Assuming here that you're using LWP::UserAgent - you don't explicitly say.

LWP::UserAgent uses IO::Socket::SSL under the hood. The IO::Socket::SSL constructor takes a SSL_version option. You can set this to the string 'SSLv3' to force the use of SSL version 3.

The trick to get LWP::UserAgent to pass this option to IO::Socket::SSL is the ssl_opts option...

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent(
    agent    => q{Foo::Bar/1.03 },
    ssl_opts =>  {SSL_version => 'SSLv3'},
);
my $response = $ua->get('https://www.example.com/');

UPDATE: you probably want to edit your /usr/bin/lwp-request to include the ssl_opts option.
