sslbot active script stopped working

I've been using the sslbot script "active" for some time to do regular
audits of my active domains. It seems to be locking up solid on the last
line here:

        my $init_cookie = 'CheckCookie=CheckCookie'; # really should load the login page
        my $AGENT='baremetal Reconciller';
        my $headers=make_headers( 'User-Agent' => $AGENT,
                                  Cookie => $init_cookie );

        my ($page, $response, %reply_headers)
                        = post_https($HOSTNAME, 443, $URI, $headers,
                               make_form(
                                       'username' => $USERID,
                                       'password' => $PASS,
                                       'action' => 'login'
                               ));

It just stops there. For days it seems. No error. No time out. Nada.

But I can
        lynx https://rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net/~vpop/resellers/index
just fine.

The box is a Red Hat 7.1 machine that I admin. Nothing has been upgraded
perl-wise or OS-wise recently. There have been no other examples of bit
rot. I can access the real-time system without any trouble from the same
machine.

Any suggestions are welcome.
