Switched use_pkcs1_padding to use_pkcs1_oaep_padding to be compatible with the new version of Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA

There was a problem hiding this comment.
As someone said in issue's comments, it would be better to completely suppress the line and let the crypto library choose the default padding (which now is oaep anyway).
This would avoid the same problem arising again and again each time a padding mode becomes insecure.

[ 30/SEP/2025 AJMETZ ] - commented out line 674 ( $key->use_pkcs1_padding; ) following advice expressed in discussion of Git Issue 102 [ do-know#102 ] and feedback on an earlier pull request [ do-know#103 (review) ]. This will effectively delegate to Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA to set a default padding, and avoid the likes of errors such as: "PKCS#1 1.5 is disabled as it is known to be vulnerable to marvin attacks."
