Fetching web page

[Ankit.11nov]

Accessing web page and storing it in a File on local PC.

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $mech=WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $URL="http://in.yahoo.com/";
$mech->get($URL);
my $file=$mech->content();

open FILE_OUT , ">output.html" or die "$!";
print FILE_OUT $file;
close FILE_OUT;

The above code is working fine when I am trying to access any HTTP link.
But if I am replacing the $URL variable(Line 5) with any HTTPS link(eg:https://login.yahoo.com/config/mail?.intl=in) it is giving the below error.

Error GETing https://login.yahoo.com/config/mail?.intl=in: Can't connect to logi n.yahoo.com:443 (Bad hostname 'login.yahoo.com') at mech.pl line 8

Under the covers WWW::Mechanise is using LWP to make HTTP requests. Therefore I assume that README.SSL will help solve your problem.

Both of the mentioned modules(Crypt::SSLeay/IO::Socket::SSL) are not available in the below location.
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/10xx-builds-only/Windows/
Is there any other link from where I can get this modules.

Sorry, I can't be any help here. I avoid Windows wherever I can and therefore know next to nothing about installing CPAN modules on it.
