Hey all, you may or may not been aware that to my recent problems i got recommend to reinstall perl ActiveState. Since i couldn't do that (due to old programs which need to keep running for the company), i installed portable Strawberry Perl 5.26.1.1 64bit on Windows Server 2008 R2. My knowledge about Server matters is restricted, but following issues came up:

1) I opened up an own application pool on the IIS-Manager for strawberry perl applications. Always when a module is not known or when trying to set a path a library (see code), it totally crashes and close down the pool with the msg:  HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable. Any idea why and how to prevent that?

2)Furthermore there is a proxy installed. So when using LWP-requests, i can not get content of https pages. The following code receives the following error msgs, which is strange since the demanded module is installed! 

LWP will support https URLs if the LWP::Protocol::https module is inst
+alled.

#use https;
my $q= new CGI;
print $q->header;
my $B = new LWP::UserAgent (keep_alive => 1, agent => 'Mozilla/5.0', c
+ookie_jar =>{});

my $proxy = 'http://localhost:5800'; 
my $Skript = "http:\/\/$ENV{SERVER_NAME}$ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}";
my $Server = "http:\/\/$ENV{SERVER_NAME}";

$B->proxy('http', $proxy);

$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = $proxy;    
$ENV{'PERL_LWP_SSL_CA_PATH'} = "D:\\cert\\input\\certs";    

$B->ssl_opts( SSL_ca_file => Mozilla::CA::SSL_ca_file() );
$B->ssl_opts( verify_hostname => 0 );
my $GET = $B->get('https://moz.com')->content;
print $GET;

Did I install Strawberry Perl right? I downloaded the portable version, transfered to the server, unpacked it, executed the bash file and then just set the path to the perl file ("hello world" script works)
