[Memphis.pm] using digital certificates with LWP + Net::SSL?

Is it possible to use digital certificates with LWP and Net::SSL?  There is
a site that I'd like access with a perl script, but it uses a Verisign
digital cert for means of client identification.  I can do this for other
sites with just plain SSL.

I had to request a cert from the site and was able to pull it down once the
admin ok'ed it.  I've been able to export a .p12 file from Netscape 4.x (on
Win2K) and use it w/o problems in Netscape 4.x on linux (Mozilla can import
it, but has problems when it comes time to use it).

Most of the stuff that I've found so far has to do with creating and using
certificates with Apache-SSL.

Thanks.
