A quick Google search yielded this link:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5223341/how-do-i-identify -the-protocol-h=
ttp-vs-https-using-perls-cgi-pm

Here's a shorter link:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5223341

Reading from there, one option would be:

my $is_secure =3D $cgi->request_uri =3D~ m{^https://};

And a better one is:

[QUOTE]
CGI.pm has an https() method that, according to the documentation:

operates on the HTTPS environment variables present when the SSL protoc=
ol is in effect. Can be used to determine whether SSL is turned on.

This is probably what you're looking for. Without parameters, it returns a =
list of HTTPS environment variables.
