# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

my $pkcs11 = Chilkat2::Pkcs11->new;

# Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
# For example:
$pkcs11->SharedLibPath('C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll');

# Use your HSM's PIN to login.
# If you wish to establish a session without logging in, then set the pin equal to the empty string.
my $pin = '0000';

# Normal user = 1
my $userType = 1;

# Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
# The call to QuickSession takes the place of calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.
my $success = $pkcs11->QuickSession($userType, $pin);
if (!$success) {
    print $pkcs11->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;

# Do whatever is needed in your PKCS11 session.
