iControl 500 Can't connect

I am new to iControl so I figured I would download the windows iControl SDK version 11.1 and try to use the SystemServices.pl perl file to connect to our internal F5. I am running Strawberry Perl on a Win 7 64bit machine. When I run the following command: "install dir"\perl5.16.3 SystemServices.pl "host IP address" "host port" "Uid" "Pwd". I get the following error: 500 Can't connect to "host IP address":"host port" at SystemServices.pl line 82

Below is the script that I am running from the SDK, and Line 82 is the following line: $soapResponse = $soap->get_all_service_statuses();

Wondering if anyone can help with the error I am seeing! Also if I use a Web browser I can get to the following url with no issues: https://"host IP address":"host port"/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi?WSDL=System.Services

!/usr/bin/perl
