Dear Monks,
I've written (copied) the following program:
#! /usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use Crypt::RSA ;

 my $rsa = new Crypt::RSA;
 my ($public, $private) =
               $rsa->keygen (
                   Identity  => 'Luca Da Luca <luca@daLuca.com> ',
                   Size      => 512,
                   Password  => 'A day so foul & fair',
                   Verbosity => 1,
               ) or die $rsa->errstr();

  $public->write(Filename => 'rsa.public' );
  $private->write(Filename => 'rsa.private' );

  $public  = new Crypt::RSA::Key::Public ( Filename => 'rsa.public');
  $private = new Crypt::RSA::Key::Private( Filename => 'rsa.private' )
+;


  $message = "Hallo allemaal :)) \n" ;

          my $cyphertext =
              $rsa->encrypt (
                   Message    => $message,
                   Key        => $public,
                   Armour     => 1,
              ) || die $rsa->errstr();

           my $plaintext =
               $rsa->decrypt (
                   Cyphertext => $cyphertext,
                   Key        => $private,
                   Armour     => 1,
               ) || die $rsa->errstr();

print "text: $plaintext\n" ;

When I execute this I get the following message: n is not a number.
Any suggestion why n is not a number but most of all, how to fix this ???
Furthermore I noticed that when I only write the keys to file I get the same message

Thanks in advance
Luca
