Re: GPG decryption

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 ......);` [download] and it worked. Go figure. thank you anyways.	[reply] [d/l]

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 :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
