One problem might be that the X.509 module is using explicit tagging, and
Convert::ASN1 uses implicit tagging. You'll need to hack the ASN.1
definitions you feed into Convert::ASN1 if this is the case. (I didn't know
about the x509decode script; it might do this already..)


However, if I just try calling Convert::ASN1::asn_dump() on $binSan, which
should just do a dump of the ASN.1 structure, I get a runtime error from
perl: Argument "opTYPE" isn't numeric in array element at
/Library/Perl/Convert/ASN1/Debug.pm line 129.

What version do you have ? I just tried it and got


0000 53: SEQUENCE {
0002 51: SEQUENCE {
0004 3: OBJECT ID = 2.5.29.17
0009 44: STRING
000B : 30 2A 82 0C 74 65 73 74 31 2E 68 70 2E 63 6F 6D 0*..test1.hp.com
001B : 82 0C 74 65 73 74 32 2E 68 70 2E 63 6F 6D 82 0C ..test2.hp.com..
002B : 74 65 73 74 33 2E 68 70 2E 63 6F 6D __ __ __ __ test3.hp.com

Graham.


Passing the same data into dumpasn1 decodes OK, so this might be a bug in
Convert::ASN1.


   0   53: SEQUENCE {
   2   51:   SEQUENCE {
   4    3:     OBJECT IDENTIFIER '2 5 29 17'
   9   44:     OCTET STRING, encapsulates {
  11   42:       SEQUENCE {
  13   12:         [2] 'test1.hp.com'
  27   12:         [2] 'test2.hp.com'
  41   12:         [2] 'test3.hp.com'
         :         }
         :       }
         :     }
         :   }

(I'm not sure that it really is an octet string encapsulating stuff, so
dumpasn1 could be broken too :-)

Cheers,

Chris
