Here is an SSCCE showing an encryption/decryption round trip. Just set the three env vars accordingly and run.

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Crypt::GPG;

my $gpg = Crypt::GPG->new;

$gpg->gpgbin ('/usr/bin/gpg');
$gpg->secretkey ($ENV{SECRET_KEY});
$gpg->passphrase ($ENV{GPG_PP});
$gpg->armor (1);

my $plaintext = 'PerlMonks Rocks!';

say "Plain text: $plaintext";

my @enctext = $gpg->encrypt ([$plaintext], $ENV{TO_EMAIL});

say "Encrypted text: @enctext";

my $decrypted = $gpg->verify (\@enctext);

say "Decrypted text: $decrypted";
