OK, I'll bite. I am unsure if you are telling me that I need to include my entire chunk of code (cause clearly this is a fragment that won't compile on its own), or if there is some really obvious problem that I am just not seeing.

I have pulled my code out of the context I am using it, and have written a little bit of practise code to try to get this to work. The practise code still has the same error. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Crypt::RSA;

print "RSA tester\n";

my $infoToSign = "blah";
my $privateKey = 5;

my $rsa = new Crypt::RSA;
my $signatureValue = $rsa->sign(
  Message    =>  $infoToSign,
  Key        =>  $privateKey,);

I still get the same problem. I realise that my key in this example is not legitimate, but it should still work, right?

I might try generating a key using Crypt::RSA too.
