I am trying to post some information to a web page by using a command prompt in perl.
I am using Getopts() to grab the parameters and format that into a url with a querystring on it.
I am extremely new to perl(been working with perl for a week) and have been been able to get this to work fine thru http although https has proven to be a different story.
I have Openssl installed correctly the version of perl is 5.0005.xxx
It is on a unix box (solaris) and..
the problem it keeps returning a 501 error and schema https not allowed.
Any clues or ideas
I have used the "use lib" to point to the modules on my home directory according to
perl this is perfectly normal to do this if you are not root and have access to install perl stuff....
here is the code
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib './libwww/libwww-perl-5.69/lib';
use lib './URI-1.23';
#use lib './libwww/libwww-perl-5.69/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51';
use Getopt::Long;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use URI::URL;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->env_proxy();
$ua->timeout(10);
my $var1 = '0';
my $var2 = '0';
my $var3 = '0';
my $var4 = '0';
my $var5 = '0';
my $var6 = '0';
my $var7 = '0';
my $var8 = '0';
my $var9 = '0';
my $var10 = '0';
my $var11 = '0';
my $var12 = '0';
GetOptions("lname=s"=>\$var1,

my $url = URI->new (sprintf "https://whatever.url.com/e/servicec/CCPSynchronization.asp

my $req = new HTTP::Request('GET',$url);
my $res = $ua->request($req);
print 'URL: '. $url . ' status was: ' . $res->status_line,"\n";
