I started to try encrypting files. As my 1st attempt I installed
Crypt::RSA module -- which downloaded & installed the PARI
software. The latter generated large numbers of warnings but apparently
installed ok. But when I run the simple script below I get this error..
PARI: *** exponent overflow at /Library/Perl/5.12/Crypt/Primes.pm
Mac OSX 10.8.5
This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Crypt::RSA;
my $rsa = new Crypt::RSA;
my ($public, $private) =
$rsa->keygen (
Identity => 'Lord Macbeth <macbeth@glamis.com>',
Size => 256,
Password => 'A day so foul & fair',
Verbosity => 1,
) or die $rsa->errstr();
print $public;
I not sure what to do ?
