Good, thanks.

I am on Debian Woody.

At first I got this error message:
	501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported
I confirmed that I have libwww:
	# dpkg -l libwww-perl
	ii  libwww-perl    5.63-1         WWW client/server library for Perl
And then checked for SSL:
	# apt-cache search Net::SSL
	libcrypt-ssleay-perl - Support for https protocol in LWP
	libnet-ssleay-perl - Perl module for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Installing these packages got it working. I am not sure if I needed
both, I do think only the first one is needed.
