[opensuse] SSL handshaking with optional client verification

Although I have SSL seeming to work, I have encountered another problem. I have written a small Perl package that tries to ensure that communication between client and server is properly handled. I made client verification optional on gremlin.site, and, in my test script, I provide the filename and the directory in which the client certificate is located to LWP's user agent.. Now, the usual printenv.pl prints out the environment, including any certificates that are exchanged. But when I run my script, I see the content of the server side certificate but the field that is supposed to hold the client side certificate is empty. How do I determine whether the fault is with the server not asking for the client certificate or the client not sending it? I guess I could tell Firefox and/or Chrome to use my client certificate, and then use them to access the same page, but I don't know how to tell browsers about client certificates.
