+An optional C<check =E<gt> 1> parameter can be passed after the key
+components to validate the key immediately after construction:

+  my $rsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->new_key_from_parameters(
+      $n, $e, $d, $p, $q, check => 1

+When enabled, C<check_key()> is called on the resulting key.  If the
+key parameters are inconsistent (e.g. wrong CRT values, mismatched
+n/e/d/p/q), the constructor will croak instead of returning an object
+that fails at first use.  The check is only performed on private keys;
+public-only keys (n and e only) are returned without validation.
