outcast has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone have any idea if there are any modules for perl that will allow you to generate, and encrypt text using RSA keys? I have had no luck with search engines, CPAN, or irc so I am asking you guy, or have fun a new open source project?

    Supersearch is your friend! This is pretty cool (see the bottom of this page for a pure Perl version), and was noted in this thread here.

    Check out Vipul Ved Prakash's code (which is on the back of the Dolphin shirt from Thinkgeek that I am wearing right now) here. It uses dc, a reverse polish notation calculator, to fulfill it's duties.

      Not only that, it also uses GP/Pari, a great calculator built specifically for number theory. This baby is great for generating primes.

      Man, I love that shirt. I wear it in Physical Education and all the non-geeks (read: non-cool people) point at me in confusion and wonder what the gibberish on my back is all about. I just scoff them when they ask.
