in reply to Verify signed data

If you're extracting a public key from an X.509 certificate, then you probably want to use RSA. I've found Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA to be a pretty good module for doing RSA.

It is possible to embed other key types (non-RSA, such as DSA) into an X.509 certificate, but that doesn't yet seem common.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name
