Installing Perl module LWP::Protocol::https

Question

I was trying to connect to a remote host via LWP::UserAgent, but when I was trying to make it work with HTTPS I received a message that

LWP::Protocol::https need to be installed. (Perl 5.10.1, CentOS 6)

I've tried to install this module with "CPAN" and with "make" and there were some errors. I've also tried to make a forced install of LWP::Protocol::https, now it is in list of installed modules (ExtUtils::Installed shows it), but the script still writes me 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed).

First I needed to add ExtUtils::CBuilder and ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Then I've tried to install Crypt::SSLeay, but I receive these messages:
