PERL: is this possible? making a mitm server listening at localhost.

is it possible to do a man in the middle (proxy)server listening at 127.0.0.1 : 80 - 443 tcp, and then inspect traffic with "whatever", like setting up browser to use localhost proxy?

i am askin this because i dont want to try to do something that isnt possible :) i know http is possible but dont know if https is possible.

i have played with mitm proxy : https://mitmproxy.org/ but i would rather do it myself with perl.

thanks.
