in thread Mechanize not working with HTTPS

Yes, that's likely the culprit.

WWW::Mechanize is a wrapper for LWP::UserAgent. As of version 6 of LWP (released quite recently), HTTPS support (in LWP::Protocol::https) was spun out into a separate distribution, so needs to be installed separately.

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

    Getting this separate error on the Get: Can't connect to IPADDRESS:443 LWP::Protocol::https::Socket: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/LWP/Protocol/http.pm

      Getting this separate error on the Get: Can't connect to IPADDRESS:443 LWP::Protocol::https::Socket: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/LWP/Protocol/http.pm

      And what do you get when you ddg://140770FC:SSL ? "unknown protocol" seems awfully specific to me, whatever you're trying to connect to, is not speaking https
