Please add the ability to read / use encrypted private keys. It would be ideal if the key was only ever decrypted when it is used, so that the key is in the clear in memory for the shortest necessary time frame.

    That is, in Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA. Helps to know which module, right? :)

    This is similar to https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47447 . A partial patch has been submitted, but lacks the ability to write keys, as well as documentation or unit tests.
