[OpenCA-Devel] pure perl X.509 parser

2005-03-04 Thread Mike Jackson
Hi, I've put together a pure perl X.509 cert parser based on Norbert Klasen's original x509decode script which he contributed to Convert::ASN1 /contrib in 2002. The parser is an OO perl module with 30 methods currently. It provides access methods such as: $cert->subject_email $cert->not_before
