Dear Sirs: A how to question: I am trying to access certificates on my Mac laptop using lwp::useragent, openssl, crypt::ssleay in perl. I have populated the $ENV variables to define where the files are located on my machine. How do I use the Crypt::SSLeay::CTX, Conn, and X509 methods to access these files, and extract the different parts of a certificate? Right now I am just trying to write a prototype perl program so that can I understand how the methods work and then use them in the near future in a larger application. Let me know if I need to give you any other info. Thanks for your timely reply to my questions. Bob Gonnella BAE Systems Software Engineer Office: 301-669-3224
