public_key:pem_decode/1 and public_key:verify/4

[Joakim G.]

Hi all,
It seems that public_key:pem_decode/1 can't decode public
keys.

I wanted use public_key:verify/4 to verify a digital signature
and for that I used public_key:pem_decode/1 to extract the
public key.

26> {ok, Bin} = file:read_file("key.pub").
{ok,<<"-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC
KEY-----\nMIGJAoGBAKhhZ8RrKaA0RWhjXJlSpTHd7/h6Luww9qeyUkEqBQyiCooZZGCYNle5C9TfRVJDUuxz"...>>}
27> rp(Bin).
<<"-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC

ok
28> public_key:pem_decode(Bin).

That was a surprise.
