I have a certificate file which was generated by the simpleCA tool. I want to know what the easiest way is to use this certificate file to sign some data in Perl.

I am running an Apache HTTP Server on a Centos box, and I need to digitally sign some text.

I read in the file (Client.crt), and output it to standard output. It appears to be Base64Encoded. Here is a sample:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIICqzCCAhSgAwIBAgICEAAwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwgZwxCzAJBgNVBAYTAkFV
...
EmsqLqgiS/OejqRYmaJe
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
[download]

Is there a Perl module which will read in this certificate file and allow me to use it to sign data?

Cheers,
Shug

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
