The current CPAN documentation for this module (v 0.21) says that there
is a small memory leak when generating keys larger than 512 bits. I
would like to use it to generate 1024 or larger keys from
Apache/mod_perl, which means persistent processes, so a memory leak
would not be good over time. Can anyone tell me if this memory leak is
still around, and if so what kind of leak we are talking about?
This will be used on a production server, which I don't want to have to
restart regularly in order to purge memory leaks. I have also looked at
Crypt::RSA, which works very well too but seems to be extremely slow at
generating longer keys.
TIA,
-Neil
