  Tue Jan 31 04:36:42 2012 kmx [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: ASN1_UTCTIME vs. ASN1_TIME in X509_get_not(Before|After)
In SSLeay.xs there are currently functions:

ASN1_UTCTIME * X509_get_notBefore(cert)
ASN1_UTCTIME * X509_get_notAfter(cert)

which was correct in 0.9.5 and earlier; with later openssl versions it should be

ASN1_TIME * X509_get_notBefore(cert)
ASN1_TIME * X509_get_notAfter(cert)

I am not sure how to handle this - maybe some #ifdef ?
I am not sure if it matters at all as we consired in Net::SSLeay the return value as any other pointer.

Side note: ASN1_UTCTIME is able to handle only dates from 1950-2049

After a bit of archeology I have found out the the latest version using ASN1_UTCTIME was 0.9.5a. Since 0.9.6 it is ASN1_TIME. So I vote for ASN1_TIME I'll include the fix in my patch for RT#74556 -- kmx
