(Perl) Duplicate openssl dgst -sha256 -verify pubKey.pem -signature signature.sig in.dat

Demonstrates how to duplicate this OpenSSL command:

openssl dgst -sha256 -verify pubKey.pem -signature signature.sig in.dat

1. Creates a SHA256 digest of the contents of the input file.
2. Verifies the SHA256 digest using the public key.
