Does anyone know the options that I need in order to produce RFC 4716 format ssh keys (ie, what you would get if you ran ssh-keygen on *nix)? I ask because I need to programatically generate keypairs on windows. I can't use ssh-keygen via cygwin b/c I need to ultimately deploy this script, and the puttygen.exe is interactive-only. Apparently, KF => 'SSH' is not enough: 
use Crypt::RSA;

my $rsa = new Crypt::RSA;

my ($public, $private) = 
$rsa->keygen ( 
    Identity  => 'Lord Macbeth <macbeth@glamis.com>',
    Size      => 1024,  
    Password  => 'A day so foul & fair', 
    Verbosity => 1,
    KF => 'SSH',
    Filename => 'mykey'
) or die $rsa->errstr();

help? is there a better module for this?
