Crypt::RSA::Key::Public provides basic key management functionality for Crypt::RSA public keys. Following methods are available:

new(): The constructor. Reads the public key from a disk file when called with a Filename argument.
write(): Causes the key to be written to a disk file specified by the Filename argument.
read(): Causes the key to be read from a disk file specified by Filename into the object.
serialize(): Creates a Data::Dumper(3) serialization of the private key and returns the string representation.
deserialize(): Accepts a serialized key under the String parameter and coverts it into the perl representation stored in the object.
check(): Check the consistency of the key. Returns undef on failure.
