Becasue of the HTTPS in the URL? Yes. How does it know how to find my openSSL DDL files? It requires the respective SSL module when needed (see LWP::Protocol::https10 for details). The XS part of the module (the .dll) subsequently loads the other 3rd-party DLLs it depends on according to how it has been linked. How exactly this happens is more a question of the dynamic linker of the OS (Windows isn't my field of expertise, so I can't tell you the details...)	[reply]
