Well, the problem with Net::SSLeay is that is pretty much oriented to
SSL connections. If I want to manipulate certificates and private keys
in Perl that module won't help much ... Further more, I haven't still
seen a SSL addition to the UserAgent Perl module which would provided
a much transparent way of doing this but this is off topic.
The solution that Phil mentioned, piping throug the execution of openssl
functions, is not good regarding performance and security so it cannot
really be used in insecure environments.
So, I can only wish that someone in the development team of OpenSSL
really takes a look at this and makes a mapping of all the OpenSSL
functions to Perl, otherwise I can not find a decent solution to those
like me who wish to use Perl with a complete crypto toolkit.
Or am I wrong?
