Cody Fendant has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to do a simple request to an https URL with WWW::Mechanize.

I've got Crypt::SSleay, I know the site is up and the URL is correct, regular browsers can connect to it, but all I get is a long wait and the message "can't connect to website.com:443". What should I try?

Edit: WWW::Mechanize can connect to other https sites just fine, for the record. Not sure what that means but it's another clue.
