I got a bit more information from some other version: $ perl5.14.3 -S lwp-request -USed https://www.geocaching.com/ GET https://www.geocaching.com/ User-Agent: lwp-request/5.834 libwww-perl/6.04 GET https://www.geocaching.com/ --> 500 Can't connect to www.geocaching.com:443 (Crypt-SSLeay can't verify hostnames) Content-Type: text/plain Client-Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:22:57 GMT Client-Warning: Internal response So I think it's on the application level, not the library. This is with Crypt::SSLeay 0.64. My Cygwin has 0.60, and debian had 0.58.
