Hi grantm, I tried your code and its the same problem
message:
RSA.xs:146: OpenSSL error: no start line at decryption.pl line 38.
line 38 =

my $rsa_key = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->new_private_key($key_text);
[download]

It would be much to ask what version of module OpenSSL::RSA are you using?

Does OpenSSL need that the --- BEGIN PRIVATE KEY --- headers be there? Im very sure those headers are there, because I've executed the command:

$ openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -in pza000413788_1011171750s.key
Enter Password:
[download]

And I see the Headers:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[download]

But what I ment is if should I have to change the format of the privateKey File or something. Any suggestion is really apreciated!

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
