A more efficient way to decode a client certificate is to setup certificate
authentication on your server, use your certificate to enter it, send the
variables to cgi then pull out the $ENV{'SSL_CLIENT_S_DN'} variable and
create your certificate request from there.

As to how to make the request without using openssl....hmm you've got me
stumped. What would you use instead?
