Re: GPG decryption

[Paladin]

According to the docs for GPG, decrypt_verify() and friends take the actual text as the second argument, not a file name. Try:

...
open GPGFILE, "try.gpg" or die "Couldn't open try.gpg: $!";
my $text = do {local $/; <GPGFILE>};
close GPGFILE;
my $file=$gpg->decrypt_verify($passphrase,$text);
print $file->{text};
...

Instead of using the module I tried the

system(gpg ......);

and it worked. Go figure. thank you anyways.

I was racking my brain trying to work out why:

$gpg->decrypt(pass,$text)

wasn't working for $text

The GPG pod wasn't clear to me on this issue, thanks for clearing it up for us Paladin :)
