# Let's say you have a file containing the 32-bytes of a SHA256 hash,
# and a file that is an RSA signature of those 32 bytes.
# Here's how you verify using the RSA public key found in a PEM.

$pubKey = chilkat::CkPublicKey->new();

    print $pubKey->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";

}

$rsa = chilkat::CkRsa->new();

# Get the public key.
$success = $rsa->ImportPublicKeyObj($pubKey);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rsa->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Get the 32-byte SHA256 hash.

$success = $bdHash->LoadFile("myHash.sha256");
if ($success == 0) {
    print "Failed to load SHA256 hash." . "\r\n";

# Get the RSA signature to be validated.

$success = $bdSig->LoadFile("mySig.sig");
