I believe there's now a newer version of lynx that DOES support secure
connections. I have a vague recollection of reading that somewhere.
If you don't find that, try cURL which DEFINITELY supports secure
connections. http://curl.haxx.se/

Undoubtedly there's a Perl module somewhere, but I've used both lynx
and cURL in Perl scripts and curl is also handy to use from command
line.
