Yes, but there is no 'https' in the description but
'LWP::Protocol::https' - and that's the name of the module.

Short description:<br>
<br>
**<b>https</b>** driver for LWP::UserAgent<br>
<br>
Extended description:<br>
<br>
The LWP::Protocol::https module provide support for using https
schemed URLs<br>
with LWP. LWP::Protocol::https is a plug-in to the LWP protocol
handling, so<br>
you don't use it directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able
to access<br>
sites using HTTP over SSL/TLS.<br>
<br>
If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's ssl_opts,
and<br>
neither SSL_ca_file nor SSL_ca_path is set, then SSL_ca_file is
implied to be<br>
the one provided by ca-certificates.<br>
<br>
This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was
unbundled in<br>
v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly for
the CPAN<br>
tool-chain. Applications that need **<b>https</b>** support can just
declare their<br>
dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer need to know
what<br>
underlying modules to install.<br>
