Hey folks, Anybody have any luck with running OpenSSL with Perl? lately.
There appears to some dated stuff nothing recent.
I think I want to do button encryption with a PayPal account. I've downloaded the windows version of openssl and made my private key and public certificate no problem. Then I used the PayPal public to combine with the price and my other certificates all fine so far. PP example leads me to java app to do this last step, downloaded that and everything is fine. I don't think I want to do Java.
I've seen some implementations with openssl doing the whole shebang from Perl code and I've got the right parameters to use. I guess I need a version of openssl which will run on my web server. That is the web server which I am paying for and do not own. I've got some stoic responses from them essentially saying I'm on my own. At least there not saying I can't do that. I'm betting the openssl.exe that I have running on my windows is not going to be much help. Already know it relies on some DLLs so no clue how to get those onto my web server.
About the only thing they've told me about my envirnoment is that its Perl 5.8. If its a windows server I'm out of luck, so I guess I have to hope for a Unix Server? Because I think I need a copy of openssl which will run under the server's OS? Or will openssl be called or opened /communicate with the Perl code directly?
I guess I'm off to get one of those tarballs from openssl. I'm hoping I can maybe build using my Linux box and that will be something I can run on my webhost. The java app I built from PayPal had me download a third party crypto implementation that went well not sure if I'll need this when I build openssl, but that leads me back around to my original question - Has anybody had any luck with this? Comments/ Suggestions.
