This is a bug report for perl from demetriobenour@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.22.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]
The Perl website is not available entirely over HTTPS -- parts
(such as perldoc.perl.org) are not.  Far worse, the Git repository
(perl5.git.perl.org) is not available over HTTPS at all.  This puts
all who clone the Git repository at risk of a man-in-the-middle attack
resulting in remote execution of arbitrary code.

Free TLS certificates trusted by (at least) Firefox and Chrome are
available from Let's Encrypt.

[Please do not change anything below this line]
