SSL

[Walls Rob W Contr 75 CS/SCBS]

I am using  RedHat 7.2. and Perl 5.6.1.
I can't seem to get LWP to read files over https.
I've tried installing IO::Socket::SSL - the tests bomb (Can't create
IO::Socket::SSL object)
I loaded Net_SSLeay - no good.
I tried to reload LWP from CPAN with install Bundle::LWP
and even force install IO::Socket::SSL again.
I still get the famous "500 (Internal Server Error) Can't connect to ...:443
()" error.

Is there a 1,2,3 setup process for getting SSL support in Perl on Linux?

Also, do you have to change code for https or just use the same as you would
for http?
i.e.
    $p=HTML::LinkExtor->new(\&handle_links);
    $res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => $referer), sub
{$p->parse($_[0])});

Thanks.
