Error getting PE routers via REST to blc.serv.as2116.net: 500 Can't connect to blc.serv.as2116.net:443 (certificate verify failed)(Can't connect to blc.serv.as2116.net:443 (certificate verify failed)
So it's still not possible to disable the certificate check. Not to mention that the documentation in the package hasn't been updated to reflect this.
Additionally it seems to break the principle of least surprise, if someone has working code tested with CPAN LWP and then tries to run it on Ubuntu it will fail without explanation (or any documentation).
So I changed LWP::Porotocol: :https back and changed my program thus:
# $ua->ssl_opts( verify_hostname => 0 );
$ua->ssl_opts( SSL_verify_mode => 0 );
This causes the same error:
