Crypt::RSA installation fails #47

Crypt::RSA installation fails with

cpanm Crypt::RSA

==> Found dependencies: ExtUtils::MakeMaker Found ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.04 which doesn't satisfy 7.0401. ! Installing the dependencies failed: Installed version (7.04_01) of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is not in range '7.0401' ! Bailing out the installation for Crypt-RSA-1.97.

I am using perlbrew and perl 5.22.0 (installed yesterday). It seems Crypt::RSA has been inactive since 2009 with several open tickets.

The problem is critical but makes installation slightly more tedious.

Alt::Crypt::RSA::BigInt has an identical API and fixes all the open tickets. It would be nice to resolve the limbo this is in, either:

(1) Replace Crypt::RSA since it isn't being actively maintained

(2) Turn Alt::Crypt::RSA::BigInt into Crypt::RSA::BigInt and change every module that uses Crypt::RSA to use it instead.

(3) Make a new RSA module with some other interface. I'm not sure there's any value in this and someone would have to have strong ideas of what they wanted changed (e.g. emulating a different API).

I just released v2.01 with many changes from Lance Kinley for AES etc., however I'm not qualified to oversee the impact of changing the RSA module, although it sounds like technically easy.

If someone who reads this and is interested could prepare and test it and send me a pull request on https://github.com/renormalist/Net-SSH-Perl I would happily merge and do the CPAN release work.

Thanks!

Kind regards, Steffen
