Gorby has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Wise Monks. I'm getting the following error from a SOAP application I'm writing using SOAP::Lite:

500 Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket" (perhaps you forgot to load "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket"?)

I used an "https://...." url for the proxy field.

What could this error mean?

Thanks in advance.

      Had the same problem. This fixed it. Many thanks!

        I think nowadays, the proper way would be to install LWP::Protocol::https, which pulls in the appropriate prerequisites.
