The sample code at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/74358/how-can-i-get-lwp-to-validate-ssl-server-certificates, using an actual apache web server, works fine, so I guess the problem probably comes from my testing setup.
Sorry to toot the same horn without providing a solution, but can someone on this list give an authoritative answer to the more generic question of how to make sure LWP::UserAgent verifies the server's SSL cert? The posts at the stackoverflow link above seem to indicate that it might not work, depending on which SSL module is installed (Crypt::, Net::, what-have-you)? Can someone post package requirements & code to guarantee that the script performs all the SSL checks a browser runs (host name check, root cert check, etc.), given that libwww version X and SSL module Y are installed, regardless of what else is installed on the machine?
