How can I parse a certificate signing request with Perl?

Question

I want to use Perl to extract information from Request Signing Request , preferably without starting an external openssl process. Since CSR is stored in base64 encoded ASN.1 format, I tried the Convert :: PEM module . But this requires a description of the contents of ASN.1, which I was unable to compile (ASN.1 is a beast).

Does anyone have a proper ASN.1 description for CSR or a module that parses such a request?

Answer 1

Perhaps Convert :: X509 can help you. See Also Convert :: X509 :: Parser .
