in reply to OT: PGP encryption command to use in Perl

From The PGP man page:

--input-cleanup
This option will clean up the input file, depending on the arguments you specify: off (default), remove, or wipe.

Example:

% pgp -c report.txt --symmetric-passphrase cam3r0n --input-cleanup wipe --wipe-input-passes 8

The output file is "report.txt.pgp", which is encrypted with a symmetric algorithm. The input file "report.txt" was wiped with 8 passes.

        Software efficiency halves every 18 months, thus compensating for Moore's Law.

    Unfortunately I cannot use this as we have Solaris 10, so stuck to the 6.5.8 version which is the latest I believe. Thanks.
