www::mechanize doesn't allow you to connect to some websites over ssl, if they are in the xhtml 1.1 markup. I have attached a script demonstrating this. I am running quantal, and noticed my script started failing after upgrading the libio-socket-ssl-perl package. Downgrading the package from 1.74 to the precise version of 1.53 fixes the issue and the attached script runs.

Here's the link to 1.53
http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.53-1_all.deb

and 1.74
http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.74-1_all.deb

You should be able to reproduce this on any debian based system (I think).
