does perl support secure http?

[Shao Zhang]

Hi,
        I am writing a perl script to fetch some info from a URL.
        But the protocol is HTTPS rather than HTTP.

        And perl does not seem to understand the following:

        $URL ="https://secure.url.com/";;
        @content = split(/\n/, get($URL));

        The error looks like following:

        Can't locate HTML/HeadParser.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
        /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 /usr/lib/perl5 
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux
        /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/LWP/Protocol.pm line 46, 
<GEN0> chunk
        6.  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
        /usr/lib/perl5/LWP/UserAgent.pm line 106, < GEN0> chunk 6.

        Will perl5 support secure http?

        Thanks.

Shao.
