Re: [Perl-openssl-users] Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA uses Crypt-OpenSSL-Bignum

[Ian R. <ia...@re...>]

Klaus,

Bignum is not a hard-and-fast requirement for RSA.  If you have it
installed, certain functions are available in the RSA module that would
not be otherwise, but these are not required for the core functionality
of RSA.  Are you getting compilation errors, or just warnings?

Bugs can be reported to CPAN, and I will see them.  If you are referring
to a bug you previously reported regarding missing includes, that's been
fixed in the just-released version 0.23 (it may take a few hours for the
mirrors to index this).
