Hi Nettle Folks--

I'm building Perl bindings for libnettle.  I hope to claim the
Crypt::Nettle namespace.

The project is in its infancy, but i currently have coverage for all
hash functions and ciphers.

My next steps are adding bindings for Yarrow and RSA.

At the moment, my source code is available via git:

 git clone git://lair.fifthhorseman.net/~dkg/libcrypt-nettle-perl


You can test it with:

 cd libcrypt-nettle-perl
 perl Makefile.PL
 make
 make test


You can read the docs with:

 pod2text lib/Crypt/Nettle.pm
 pod2text lib/Crypt/Nettle/Hash.pm
 pod2text lib/Crypt/Nettle/Cipher.pm

I have not yet uploaded it to CPAN.  I'd be very happy to get feedback
from anyone interested.

Regards,

	--dkg
