Subject: keys and openssl

I may be barking up the wrong tree altogether, but I'm trying to 
generate a public and private key, optionally protected by a passphrase, 
and use them to encrypt and decrypt a database password. Has anyone done 
this in Ruby with OpenSSL? If so, would you mind gving me a few tips?

I've tried several things with no luck. The OpenSSL library for Ruby is 
impressive, but poorly documented. :( Any pointers would be appreciated.
