another SSL question

I've searched through the archives and I still don't seem to have the
answer I need (or maybe understand).

I've been using LWP to POST info to a site. I need SSL (the site
changed yesterday to ONLY accepting https:). I installed OpenSSL etc.
and can GET fine but POSTs fail. Anyway to make posts work within LWP?

As an alternative I installed Net::SSLeay. Can any one show me a
working example of a secure post? The docs make it look like one call -
is that true? Is it really that easy? Do I have to do weird crap to set
up certs etc. or is there some magic that just makes it work?

I'm in real need here - please help! Thanks in advance.
