Hello all,

I'm using the Perl module Crypt::GPG and I'm unable to decrypt a file (using the Mageia 8 distribution).

Encryption works well.

So up to now, I was using the system command (system("gpg --decrypt ...) but it seems that now there is a 2mn timeout which makes me unable to use this command on big encrypted files.

As I could not succeed to replace the "system" command with "use IPC::Run qw(run timeout) ; run ...", I'm trying again with the Crypt::GPG module.

Here is my code : 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict ;

# Does not exist anymore in Mageia.
# use GnuPG qw( :algo ) ;
use Crypt::GPG ;

my $gpg = new Crypt::GPG ;
$gpg->gpgbin('/bin/gpg') ;
$gpg->secretkey('my_email_address') ;
$gpg->passphrase('my_gpg_passphrase') ;

my $encryptedFile = 'myfile.tar.gz.gpg' ;
my $tarFile = 'myfile.tar.gz' ;

my @encryptedFileArray = () ;

open(GPG_FILE, "$encryptedFile") || die "can't open file $encryptedFil
+e !" ;
@encryptedFileArray = <GPG_FILE> ;
close(GPG_FILE) ;

my ($plaintext, $signature) = $gpg->verify("\@encryptedFileArray");
# print("$plaintext\n");
open(TAR_FILE, ">$tarFile") || die "can't open file $tarFile !" ;
print(TAR_FILE $plaintext) ;
close(TAR_FILE) ;

exit ;

Do you know what I'm doing wrong ?

Thank you for your wisdom.

Regards.
