functionality of the OpenSSL libraries.

It complements the other modules in the Crypt::OpenSSL::* hierarchy in many ways:
providing proper OpenSSL initialization, access to extended error information, etc.

For example:

    use Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA;
    use Crypt::OpenSSL::Common;

    my $private = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->new_private_key($pem_encrypted_key);

With out Crypt::OpenSSL::Common, the C::O::RSA's new_private_key method can't
handle encrypted keys. Now it can handle them.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
