in reply to Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket"

G'day Philbert,

Welcome to the Monastery.

I'm making something of a guess here, based on fairly recent issues I encountered with LWP::Protocol::https (LWP::Protocol::https::Socket is bundled with this — see the distribution page), and your "ancient ActivePerl 32bit installation".

The third paragraph of the "LWP::Protocol::https DESCRIPTION" starts with:

"This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was unbundled ..."

The solution to my problems, a year or two ago, was to install LWP::Protocol::https. This may also work for you. It's possible that you may need to update other modules (e.g. XMLRPC::Lite) but that's also a guess.
