This might be a silly question, but I thought I'd ask anyway. If I'm writing in C, isn't it more efficient to, for instance, use constant character variable set to 'A' instead of hard-coding a character 'A'? Since it's only a single character instead of a string, it might not matter much. (10 Replies)

lwp::protocol::https
LWP::Protocol::https(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation LWP::Protocol::https(3)
NAME
LWP::Protocol::https - Provide https support for LWP::UserAgent
SYNOPSIS
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(ssl_opts => { verify_hostname => 1 });
$res = $ua->get("https://www.example.com");
DESCRIPTION
The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using https schemed URLs with LWP. This module is a plug-in to the LWP protocol
handling, so you don't use it directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able to access sites using HTTP over SSL/TLS.
If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's "ssl_opts", and neither "SSL_ca_file" nor "SSL_ca_path" is set, then
"SSL_ca_file" is implied to be the one provided by Mozilla::CA. If the Mozilla::CA module isn't available SSL requests will fail. Either
install this module, set up an alternative "SSL_ca_file" or disable hostname verification.
This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was unbundled in v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly
for the CPAN tool-chain. Applications that need https support can just declare their dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer
need to know what underlying modules to install.
