As I mentioned in the other message you first have to create a root CA and its
directory structure. The command:

CA.pl -newca

will do that (there are other ways but CA.pl is the easiest).

Then when you have the CSR rename it to "newreq.pem" and do:

CA.pl -sign

and the certificate will be in newcert.pem
