in reply to Crypt::RSA problem

Are you sure the module was installed properly? This would include correct installation of Math::Pari, which in turn depends on installation of an external compiled library called "pari".

The module installation should have included some tests, and it is possible to "force" installation despite test failures. If that's what happened in your case, you'll need to try the installation again, and pay attention to the failures.

    But if I create the keys and use them directly (no writing to and reading from file) it all works fine.
    Maybe this is interesting: If I print the key before writing I get the following:

    If I print the code after writing it to file (so I haven't red it yet!):

      If I remove Password from the keygen everything works fine !! How do I write and read a key using a password ?

      Oooh I fixed it, it is simple:$private = new Crypt::RSA::Key::Private( Filename => 'rsa.private', Password => 'A day so foul & fair' ); Luca
