How to make LWP ignore ssl warnings

Hello,
How can I get LWP to ignore a response such as, "There is a problem
with this website's security certificate", and go ahead to browse the
page?

thanks,
Rich.

Try adding this to your script to disable SSL certificate checking:

BEGIN { $ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0 }

[Untested, just going by the docs for libwww-perl]
