I'm using Crypt::RSA module for generating public & private keys.

Varchar
field of the MySQL.
Could any body tell me when storing the keys in the databases what
would be
the type of the field or how to work with the keys??
Try the "blob" type. I think varchar is too short to store the
private key in a format Crypt:RSA expects. We store the keys in
files, but store the encrypted data in "blob" records.
i save as TEXT in postgres
you need to make sure that you're reading/writing them correctly.
some modules use base16, base32, base64 ; its a PITA realizing that
your issues are entirely with base representation.
