That isn't it. I tried that first. I am assuming the demoCA that it
looks for is in the current working directory.

I think this might be the problem. I could be wrong, but I dont remember
this file before 0.97. I ran the commands 

/usr/local/bin/openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 1024
/usr/local/openssl/certs# /usr/local/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -days
365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

and got what I expected. Was there some config I need to do to the
openssl.cnf file to make the CA.pl script work?
