I'm having trouble accessing a web-page that requires a certificate. The page is actually a SOAP web-service but once I installed the .pfx certificate into Firefox then if I simply enter the URL it comes up with some technical info.

To test out my Perl code certificate handling I tried to access this same page using LWP::UserAgent but I'm getting error messages. From what I can tell the certification is OK (I translated the .pfx file to .pem certificate & key using OpenSSL) but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the issue is and what to try next.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use IO::Socket::SSL qw(debug4);
use LWP::UserAgent;
 
my $url =  'https://xxxxx.xxxxx.com/xxxx/Cms.asmx';

 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 $ua->ssl_opts(  SSL_use_cert => 1,
        verify_hostname => 0,
        SSL_cert_file => "BW_cert.pem",
        SSL_key_file =>  "BW_key.pem"
        );
 
 my $response = $ua->get( $url );
 
 if ($response->is_success) 
 {
     print $response->decoded_content;  
 }
 else 
 {
     die $response->status_line;
 }

The output that I get is as follows:
