Public bug reported:

www::mechanize doesn't allow you to connect to some websites over ssl,
if they are in the xhtml 1.1 markup. Instead, it simply times out. I
have attached a script demonstrating this. I am running quantal, and
noticed my script started timing out and failing to connect after
upgrading the libio-socket-ssl-perl package. Downgrading the package
from 1.74 to the precise version of 1.53 fixes the issue and the
attached script runs, connects to the site and prints the output
properly.

Here's the link to 1.53
http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.53-1_all.deb

and 1.74
http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.74-1_all.deb

You should be able to reproduce this on any debian based system (I
think).
