You can explicitly disable HTTPS warning messages in Perl by setting the environment variable PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME to 0. This will skip the verification of SSL certificates and suppress any warnings related to HTTPS connections.


Here's an example code snippet:

$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

my $response = $ua->get('https://example.com');

if ($response->is_success) {
    print $response->content;
} else {
    die $response->status_line;
}


Please note that disabling SSL certificate verification can pose a security risk as it makes your connection vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Use this method only in secure testing environments and avoid using it in production systems.
