After installing arp-scan from the binary package arp-scan-1.9.7-7.fc37 on a Fedora 37 system after a "minimal install", get-oui fails:

[rsh@fedora ~]$ get-oui -v
Fetching OUI data from http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt
Could not get OUI data from http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt

After changing get-oui so it displays the underlying error rather than the unhelpful "couldn't do it" message, we get:

[rsh@fedora ~]$ get-oui -v
Fetching OUI data from http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt
501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed) at /usr/sbin/get-oui line 87.

Installing perl-LWP-Protocol-https solves the problem:

[rsh@fedora ~]$ get-oui -v
Fetching OUI data from http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt
Fetched 5343714 bytes
Opening output file ieee-oui.txt

[rsh@fedora ~]$ ls -l ieee-oui.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 rsh rsh 1000513 Dec 18 13:43 ieee-oui.txt

[rsh@fedora ~]$ wc -l ieee-oui.txt
