=head1 NAME

Crypt::Perl::RSA::Generate - RSA key generation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Crypt::Perl::RSA::Generate ();

    #$prkey is a Crypt::Perl::RSA::PrivateKey instance.
    my $prkey = Crypt::Perl::RSA::Generate::create(2048);

=head1 DISCUSSION

Unfortunately, this is quite slow in Perl—too slow, in fact, if you
don’t have either L or L.
The logic here will still run under pure Perl, but it’ll take too long
to be practical.

The current L backend is slated to be replaced
with L; once that happens, pure-Perl operation should
be much more feasible.

=head1 ALTERNATIVES

=over 4

=item L - probably the fastest way to generate RSA
keys in perl. (It relies on XS, so this project can’t use it.)

=item Use the C binary L directly,
e.g., C. Most *NIX systems can do this.

=back

NOTE: As of December 2016, L is NOT suitable for key
generation because it can only generate keys with up to a 512-bit modulus.
