I was looking at some ASN.1 descriptions recently (Kerberos Version 5
protocol, in fact) and it occurred to me that Perl might be a useful
tool for interpreting ASN.1 streams. Before I go reinventing the wheel
(or punting due to "real work" committments) has anyone already
considered this and implemented or dismissed the idea?
