in reply to HTTPS Problem

What version of LWP are you using? You can check via:

perl -MLWP -E'say(LWP->VERSION)'

[download]

As of LWP 6.02, you need to install LWP::Protocol::https separately to get HTTPS support. (LWP::Protocol::https used to be bundled with LWP, but as far as I understand it, has been unbundled because it has some heavy dependencies.)

Assuming you're on a Linux/Unix-based machine, you can probably find LWP::Protocol::https through your package manager, or if not, you can probably install it using CPAN:

sudo cpan LWP::Protocol::https

By the way, your debugging output is fairly useless. You might want to try something like:

printf LOGFILE "%s\t\tDEBUG: %s\n", localtime(), $response->as_string;

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

    Thanks. Looks like I'm at 6.02 so I'll go in that direction. It's a Windows box so I'll be using ppm to grab it. I'll update outcome whether good or bad.

    Thanks for the help, Jay.

      It looks like the problem was actually certificate verfication. I'm guessing that the earlier release we upgraded away from defaulted the ssl_opts key verify_hostname to FALSE. LWP 6.02 defaults to TRUE. Everything is working fine now thanks to the hint on the debug output.
