note derby <p>Wow! I don't know what's more amazing ... a question about a decade old post, the fact that the monastery is still here after ten years, or that I'm still here to answer it.</p> <p>The problem is [cpan://GPG] has not been updated in a dozen years but [google://gpg] has. Looks like the underlying options to the gpg command <code> --batch --no-comment --no-version </code> are no longer sufficient to keep non-error messages off of STDERR. [cpan://GPG] interpets anything on STDERR as an error and will not return the output <code> $this->error($error) and return if $error; return $output; </code> </p> <p>So ... the real solution is to use a newer module (maybe [cpan://GnuPG] -- but I haven't really looked into it). But ... if you're feeling hacky, you can always modify [cpan://GPG] to use the <code>--quiet</code> option and that should prevent information on STDERR from blocking the decrypt.</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
