You may not have https working due to SSL & ITAR problems. The way
that you would have implemented httpslow would have been something
like this:

package LWP::Protocol::httpslow;
@ISA = qw(LWP::Protocol::http); # inherit from it, just one small override
# take a look at `perldoc -m LWP::Protocol::http` for source
sub request {
    my $self = shift;
    warn "$self->request called with @_\n"; # so you can watch it happen!
    sleep 3;
    $self->SUPER::request(@_); # pass on request
}
1;

In fact, the IO::Handle hack may be closer to what you want. Anyway, enjoy.
