LWP will support https URLs if the LWP::Protocol::https module is installed.

With most of the world gone SSL/TLS, there seems to be a need for https://metacpan.org/release/GAAS/LWP-Protocol-https-6.04/view/lib/LWP/Protocol/https.pm these days.

https://wiki.helionet.org/tutorials/perl suggests that "All CPAN libraries can be installed from within your control panel."

Is this still the case on Plesk, or could this Perl module be provided by an admin?

On the other hand, https://metacpan.org/pod/HTTP::Tiny works (around) for me.

Hi @milano,

Unfortunately, Plesk panel does not have a web interface that allows users to install Perl modules like cPanel had.

Like with Python, users can request the modules they need and a root admin will install them.

Would you like to request the installation of the Perl module LWP::Protocol::https? If so (or if there are any others you also want installed) just let us know so we can escalate your request to our root admins for fulfilling.

PS.: I have moved your topic to HelioHost > Questions since it is a question about our services rather than just being about your site coding/management.

Installing LWP:Protocol:https might be a good idea indeed (also to make the message in the subject line go away), as it used to be part of LWP until a few years ago anyway, which is more feature-rich (incl. safer with full host verification) and commonly used than HTTP::Tiny (though rewriting to use the latter overnight did the trick for my own little pieces of code).
