Subject: | Older FIle::Fetch cannot https |
On some of my smoker systems the build process fails:

Fetching 'https://cmake.org/files/v3.9/cmake-3.9.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz'...
###ERROR### Unable to fetch 'https://cmake.org/files/v3.9/cmake-3.9.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz' at inc/My/Builder.pm line 97.

It seems that these are systems with old File::Fetch, which has only quite weak https support (https only working if lynx is installed). With modern File::Fetch (>=0.50) https support is better (https works with LWP, curl and wget), so probably you should require this version.
