Dear monks

Using the doc from cpan I was able to construct the following script: 
#! /usr/bin/perl

use Crypt::OpenSSL::Random;
use Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA;
use Data::Dumper ;

my $rsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->generate_key(1024); # or

print "private key is:\n", $rsa->get_private_key_string();
print "public key (in PKCS1 format) is:\n",     
      $rsa->get_public_key_string();
print "public key (in X509 format) is:\n", 
      $rsa->get_public_key_x509_string();

#$rsa_priv->use_md5_hash(); # use_sha1_hash is the default
#$signature = $rsa_priv->sign($plaintext);
#print "Signed correctly\n" if ($rsa->verify($plaintext, #$signature))
+;

So, I've generated $rsa, which can give me a private/public key as a string. The question is, how do I encrypt and decrypt using ?

Cheers
LuCa

UPDATE: I solved it with RSA: 
my $rsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->generate_key(2048); # or
my $rsa_priv = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->new_private_key($rsa->get_private_
+key_string() );
my $rsa_pub = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->new_public_key( $rsa->get_public_ke
+y_string() );

my $ciphertext = $rsa_pub->encrypt($plaintext) ;
