Hello! Some answers for you:

Right. We'll need to store the IP address used during the
time of creation. It likely will not be "correct", but Kaboodle just
needs something to start with.

My initial thought is yes: there's about ~2500 downloads
of Kaboodle out there now that I don't want to break with this
update. Is there a problem with the file format, though?

I think a better way to think of it is not "what OpenSSL module
do I need", but rather "what Authentication/Encryption algorithm module
do I need". Honestly, I cannot remember what crypt and digest algorithms
are used in the current key-generation and file-signing processes. I
believe it's RSA and MD5, but could you please let me know what the code
says?
Regarding the Perl modules, the list you want is here:

Please let me know if this keeps development moving forward.
thanks,
Scott
