segmentation fault

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

Helo, I am trying to connect to httpS using www::mechanize , but every time get a segmentation fault.
I am Using RHEL 4 , openssl version is 0.9.8b .
problem Detail:
When I try to mechanize->get() any http URL it works , but whenever I put in an httpS Url it gives segmentation fault .
Tried another CPAN module to access web , same thing is happening.
Is it a fault with openssl ? Can you help me tracing the fault line .
Thank you
Here is basic code i m trying to run ----------

#!/usr/bin/perl

use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1);

my $url2 = "https://login.live.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail&cbid=24325&
+msppjph=1&tw=0&fs=1&fsa=1&fsat=1296000&lc=1033&_lang=EN&bk=1633438";

$mech->get($url2);

print $mech->content;
print $mech->forms;

Well, running your code as is, I get the following error: `Error GETing https://login.live.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail&cbid=24325 +&msppjph=1&tw=0&fs=1&fsa=1&fsat=1296000&lc=1033&_lang=EN&bk=1633438: +Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (Crypt::SSLeay not installed +) at foo.pl line 5` [download] After installing Crypt::SSLeay it appears to work as I expect you want it to.

Thanx Darren I've linked the Crypt::SSLeay with older version of OpenSSL(0.9.7) and it is working fine :)	[reply]

In view of the earlier suggestions, I expect that your UserAgent will be working soon. If not, my first attempt when troubleshooting https connections is to check if the server is properly configured: $ openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 -state -debug GET / HTTP/1.0	[reply]
