Well, you could just as well do this: `$fh = $pgp->decrypt(Filename => $file, Passphrase => $pp);` [download] But depending on how that method works, you may not see any improvement. Worth a try though.	[reply] [d/l]

All the code slurps files. Not a bad approach for starters, but it inevitably runs into memory limits	[reply]

Is there anything wrong with that? Need to open $fh to output file and then print to the output file the plain text after it was decrypted. But your code does not try to print anything to $fh, all it does is create an empty file .. Still the issue is the decrypt function returns to variable as opposed to being able to pass output filehandle Yeah decrypt doesn't do that You can make a feature request or bug report at rt://Crypt-OpenPGP ( bug-Crypt-OpenPGP@rt.cpan.org ) It would be nice if decrypt didnt slurp giant files	[reply]

Your right, $fh = $pt; should have been print $fh $pt; I think copied the incorrectly into my original post	[reply]
