The following call (which maps straight to the C API) fails with
GNUTLS_E_ENCRYPTION_FAILED:

    my $pkcs8 = $key->export_pkcs8(GNUTLS_X509_FMT_PEM, "huhu",
                                   GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_3DES);

With the GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PKCS12_3DES flag, it works.  Is a special
format for the password required if the GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_3DES
mode is used?
