LWP uses Crypt::SSLeay by default. There you can set the paths to the
client certificate using environment variables.

$ENV{'HTTPS_KEY_FILE'}='/foo/key.pem';
$ENV{'HTTPS_CERT_FILE'}='/foo/cert.pem';


If for some reason your perl program has loaded IO::Socket::SSL this
doesn't work as LWP switches to a different SSL implementation. But
then you can poke the LWP module a little bit:

use IO::Socket::SSL;
use LWP::Protocol::http;
@LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = (
    'SSL_key_file' => '/foo/key.pem',
    'SSL_cert_file' =>  '/foo/cert.pem'
);
