I've put together a pure perl X.509 cert parser based on Norbert Klasen's original x509decode script which he contributed to Convert::ASN1 /contrib in 2002.
The parser is an OO perl module with 30 methods currently. It provides access methods such as:
$cert->subject_email $cert->not_before $cert->version $cert->serial
The only dependency of the library is Convert::ASN1. It does not require OpenSSL at all.
Currently, it's only been tested with my own certs, so I'd like to get some more testers before releasing it publicly. I wrote a set of programs running in mod_perl to pull users account info, jpeg photo, and certs from LDAP and display them on a web page. The parser has worked perfectly for me, but I'm curious to see how it behaves with certs which were created from different profiles than mine.
Anybody interested in testing and possibly using it in OpenCA?
