In other words, Convert::ASN1 will not decode a certificate encoded using 
BER, though a cert encoded in DER will be OK.

I just had a quick go, and am having problems.

How does Convert::ASN1 handle ANY, Graham? I don't fancy decoding the 
*entire* certificate so want to put in placeholders for the bits I don't 
care about.

eg

Foo ::= SEQUENCE {
   version [0] INTEGER,
   serialNumber ANY,
   subject ANY,
   ...
}

will that do what I expect and let me decode past the bits I don't care 
about (serialNumber and subject in the above case)?

Cheers,
