convert C# to perl script

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

Please help to convert this C# code to perl

var client = new RestClient("url");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.PUT);
// Create SSL certificate 
// Certificate CN name is used to authenticate with Secure Gateway
string certificateFile = "<SSL_Certificate>.pfx";        
var certificate = new X509Certificate(certificateFile);
client.ClientCertificates = new X509CertificateCollection();
client.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);

Hello Metilda! What are your problems with converting the C# code to Perl? Are you looking for the right modules to use? Are you looking for a general approach of converting C# to Perl? What Perl code have you already written for this problem and how does it fail to do what you need?	[reply]

Hi, I have installed REST::Client and Crypt::X509 modules. `my $url = "https://my rest services url"; my $jsonBody = '{ json details }'; my $client = REST::Client->new(); $client->addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); $client->addHeader('charset', 'UTF-8'); $client->addHeader('Accept', 'application/json'); $client->addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'); $client->PUT($url, $jsonBody);` [download] The above script is working fine without using ssl certificate. Now i want to include ssl certificate. I have my pfx file and want to create certificate object using X509Certificate. Need your help to convert that C# code to perl.	[reply] [d/l]

I have my pfx file and want to create certificate You could do this separately using a CLI utility such as openssl but if you want to do that inside perl, take a look at Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 which shows in the synopsis how to achieve this.	[reply]

Looking through the documentation for Rest::Client, I find these two lines: `#X509 client authentication $client->setCert('/path/to/ssl.crt'); $client->setKey('/path/to/ssl.key');` [download] Have you tried adding your certificate and key file that way? How does it fail?	[reply] [d/l]
