use chilkat();

$cert = chilkat::CkCert->new();

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The ExportPrivateKey method is deprecated:

# privatekeyObj is a PrivateKey
$privatekeyObj = $cert->ExportPrivateKey();
if ($cert->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $cert->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using GetPrivateKey.
# Your application creates a new, empty PrivateKey object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

$privatekeyOut = chilkat::CkPrivateKey->new();
$success = $cert->GetPrivateKey($privatekeyOut);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $cert->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
