Add

use IO::Socket::SSL qw(debug99);
[download]

and you'll get this from a.exe

DEBUG: IO/Socket/SSL.pm:1213: Invalid certificate authority locationse

Problem, PAR doesn't know about C:\perl\site\5.14.1\lib\Mozilla\CA\cacert.pem, it doesn't pack it along with C:\perl\site\5.14.1\lib\Mozilla\CA.pm

Solution, add the file with

-a "C:\perl\site\5.14.1\lib\Mozilla\CA\cacert.pem;cacert.pem"
[download]

then in your .pl tell LWP about it

$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_CA_FILE} = File::Spec->catdir( $ENV{PAR_TEMP}, 'cacert.pem');

update: After testing, I see cacert.pem doesn't end up in root, so you'd have to something like

$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_CA_FILE} = File::Spec->catdir( $ENV{PAR_TEMP}, qw[ i
+nc perl site 5.14.1 lib Mozilla CA cacert.pem ] );
[download]

Or specify a path where to install, like -a "C:\perl\site\5.14.1\lib\Mozilla\CA\cacert.pem;/cacert.pem" forget it, you'd have to use PAR::read_file for it to get unpacked, bah caveats

If Mozilla::CA had used File::ShareDir, you would simply add use File::ShareDir::PAR; to your .pl and it would just work

So, the bugs are as follows

• IO::Socket::SSL doesn't give a useful error message to LWP::Protocol::https, so LWP can't give you a useful error message -- you shouldn't need debuging to learn which critical/fatal error occurred
• Mozilla::CA doesn't use File::ShareDir
• PAR doesn't automagically add File::ShareDir::PAR when it detects File::ShareDir
• File::ShareDir::PAR is still experimental :)
• PAR doesn't have an option to detect/pack  ssleay32.dll libeay32.dll
