maybe a
> pacman -S ca-certificates
will help. I remember (faintly) that the ca-certificates package said something like "valid until 20.10" or something like that "next check 20.10" - not sure.
Or you do a
> pacman -Syu
Which is the Arch Linux way of "apt-get update & apt-get upgrade"
edit:Or you have a simple networking problem. Try a
> ping 8.8.8.8
if that works. If yes, update as said above. If no, you have to get your VM networking right first. But that is a matter of the VM configuration, not of the OS running inside the VM.
Ping came back fine updated on those commands previously still not working. I think this is an issue with the Perl certificate implementation. I had a similar issue running a perl script on windows with he same error that i could not fix.
