I have never used the said modules, but, looking at the documentation:

<URL:http://search.cpan.org/~btrott/Crypt-DSA-0.13/lib/Crypt/DSA/Key.pm>

Any of the key attributes can be accessed through combination get/set
methods. The key attributes are: p, q, g, priv_key, and pub_key. For
example:

$key->p($p);
my $p2 = $key->p;
....

So, I would try

printf "Public key: %s\n", $key->pub_key;

to print the public key.
