ok, after finding an exact example for my problem in the distribution of Convert::ASN1, please forget my question to the mailinglist.
*covering head with ashes*,
I have taken the x509 ASN.1 certificate profile definition from the x509decode script and written my own library, which I was planning to release to CPAN, but it's not finished yet. It is mostly working, except for decoding cert extensions and constructing DNs on-the-fly.
Namely, it lets you extract single items, like:
$cert->issuer; $cert->expiration_date; $cert->subject; $cert->pubkey;
etc...
It's quite slow, though. On my 500Mhz P3 test machine, it takes ~0,7s to decode a cert with the pure perl method. On modern machines, it might be so fast that you can't even notice it (I hope so).
Are you interested in something like that?
