LWP::Debug might give you some more details of what is going on. 

use LWP::Debug qw(+);

The LWP GET command line util can help:
GET -eSU url

I can't see any probs in your code, you need to be sure that it's not somewhere else (the proxy suggested earlier)

    Proxy settings seem correct as I get a 404 when I change them and a 500 when they are reverted. However, the LWP::Debug was a goldmine. When run I get, 
    LWP::UserAgent::new()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::simple_request: POST url
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()

    When I try and change the last line to something like 
    LWP::Protocol::https::request 'POST', 'url';

    in my script it tells me that it can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Request". Does this mean that the https request method is not implemented? Thanks so much for your continued help and guidance.
