Someone (here: https://wtf.roflcopter.fr/links/pogo/?E8qwLQ) says to do:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install LWP::Protocol::https'

But, as I don't understand what it tries to do, I would like your advice

A temporary solution as I don't use https to access the controller (it's only 
accessible via localhost, so that's not too important for me)
Put as comment the 2 lines:
$ua->ssl_opts( verify_hostname => $CHECK_CERT );
(lines 83 & +-355)

The problem is that you are using a really old libwww-perl 5.836-1 (from 2010), 
and "ssl_opts" was introduced on version 6.00 (2011).

To make optional, and avoid change the code and get it broken on next update, 
this was made optional. Next version will include this, but by now you can get 
is on https://github.com/klaubert/waf-fle/tree/0.7.0-devel, any way consider 
update you libwww.

• Changed state: Fixed
• Added labels: Milestone-Release0.7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Indeed.

Debian Wheezy, the one we should soon have, will have libwww-perl 6.04-1
So I'll keep my fix up to then.

Thanks for your answer.
