JWS Using HMAC SHA-256

Creates a JSON Web Signatures (JWS) using HMAC SHA-256. Perl

#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

#  First create the JWS Protected Header

#  Set the HMAC key:

#  Set the payload.

#  Create the JWS
#  By default, the compact serialization is used.

#  Examine the protected header:

#  Output:

#  	Protected (JOSE) header:
