Why is perl script not working in Splunk 6.2 and getting error 'Cannot login to: https://127.0.0.1:8834/'"?

Hi.

I'm using Splunk 6.2 with a scripted input.
My script works fine from shell.

Shell:

root@ubuntu:/opt/splunk/etc/apps/FOLDER/bin# ./SCRIPT.pl
Logged in
Export completed! /opt/.../reports/
Move completed! /opt/
Delete completed! /opt/.../reports/*.x
root@ubuntu:/opt/splunk/etc/apps/FOLDER/bin#

Script Example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$ENV{'PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME'} = 0;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Nessus::XMLRPC;

When I search for the error:

11-10-2014 15:37:20.382 -0200 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/FOLDER/bin/SCRIPT.pl" Cannot login to: https://127.0.0.1:8834/

This message is defined inside the script, so it is working.

I had to link perl library. Now it works.

#!/bin/sh
export PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/
perl $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/FOLDER/bin/SCRIPT.pl

root@ubuntu:/opt# /opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd /opt/splunk/etc/apps/FOLDER/bin/SCRIPT.pl
Cannot login to: https://127.0.0.1:8834/
root@ubuntu:/opt#

The same occurs with splunk cmd.
