The issue is that LWP::UserAgent fails quietly on https requests when you don't have the necessary modules installed. I got bit by it a few years ago. LWP::Protocol::https is not actually a module, but rather an installation construct for the modules required for https access. Also make sure you explicitly include the https protocol in your URL.
If you are using ActiveState Perl, PPM should give you an easy method to quickly check if you've installed the LWP::Protocol::https package.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
