Can't use Crypt::RSA

[arnab <ar...@kolkatacdac.in>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm using a small script to use the Crypt::RSA module under windows using
Active Perl v5.8.8 but it is showing  Perl Command Line Interpreter has
encountered a problem and needs to close...

My script....
#############################
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Crypt::RSA;
# Use my to declare variables
my ($crypted, $data, $plain, $private, $public, $rsa);
# Set the data that will be encrypted
$data = "hello";
 
# Create a new RSA object
$rsa = new Crypt::RSA or die "Unable to create RSA object!\r\n";
 
# Generate a public private key pair
($public, $private) = $rsa->keygen(Size => 1024) or
        die "Unable to create key pair!\r\n";
 
undef($rsa); 
########################

Could any body please suggest what may be the parameter for the function
call $rsa->keygen(....

Thanks in advance.

Arnab

For the benefit of ActivePerl users reading this, the
problem raised in http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal/35219
about not being able to upgrade core modules was addressed
with ppm4:
   http://www.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE:-Beta-of-PPM-version-4-released-td4906225.html
(click on "Show quoted text" to see the release notes),
together with the adjustment of @INC to set C:\Perl\site\lib
before C:\Perl\lib.

See also the note at the top of
    http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.10-A.html
for known issues regarding the state of ActiveState's 10xx
ppm repository.

None of these things has anything to do with mod_perl. Try an Active State or
Windows Perl mailing list instead.

Btw, ActiveState seems pretty busted right now for a whole lot of things.

Granted this is 5.10 (mod_perl itself doesn't quite work yet with 5.10) but AS
5.8 has similar problems, just not as many.

try using Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA

its a little faster.  there is a memory leak in it, but the max- 
requests directive will make it pretty inconsequential.
