title: Scripts broke after upgrading LWP "certificate verify failed"
body: <p>I have a lot of scripts, most of them based around <code>WWW::Mechanize</code> that scrape data off of misc hardware that is accessible via HTTPs. After upgrading most of my perl installation and its modules, all scripts using HTTPS:// broke because of <code>"certificate verify failed"</code></p>
  
  <p>This is a result of the fact that the newer versions of LWP does a proper check on the certificate and  <code>dies</code> if something doesn't match.</p>
  
  <p>In my case, the failed certificate authentication is expected due to the circumstances, so i needed to find a way of cleanly circumventing this check.</p>
