I got mine from here http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ (5.8 perl) On a scale of 1-10 installing & using the Crypt:: family of modules is at difficulty 9+. :) If you installed from PPD, then its advisable to go here http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/cpan/authors/id/V/VI/VIPUL/Crypt-RSA-1.57.tar.gz to get the latest, which will have all the test scripts. Not that you should install from CPAN source, but at least you can do some quality testing as the author intended. see ./Crypt-RSA-1.57\Crypt-RSA-1.57\t especially look at 09-publickey.t, but before you run it open it up and comment out this line #unlink $keyfile; that way you can see the format of the public key once its written. Also there is a switch for "ASCII::Armour" -- see the synopsis. good luck, Mark Pryor -- __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
