Brief description of tool

Runners already include LWP::Simple and LWP::UserAgent, Perl libraries that take care of making HTTP(S) requests. However, they need this separate library to actually make https requests.

URL for tool's homepage

https://metacpan.org/dist/LWP-Protocol-https

Provide a basic test case to validate the tool's functionality.

perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "https://jj.github.io/IV"'

As a matter of fact, I've looked up a list of Perl modules installed some time ago, and it was actually there; that should have been Ubuntu-18 or thereabouts.
