The perl script works fine from command line, but the CGI returns 500 error. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Crypt::GPG;
use CGI qw(:standard);
my $gpg = new Crypt::GPG;
$gpg->gpgbin('/usr/bin/gpg');      # The GnuPG executable

$to='fake@name.com';
$from= 'fakefake@name.com';
$subject='request';

$ptext = "Primary Applicant:\nOptical Carrier);
@ctext = $gpg->encrypt( $ptext, $to );

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
print MAIL $ctext[0];
close(MAIL);
print <<END;

So it works from command line, but gives a 500 error to user via CGI. But if I comment out references to gpg/GPG then the CGO works. So I dont think I have any code errors, it just looks like I have to do something else to enable CGI and crypt::gpg functionality? my hosting platform doesnt provide logs..

In reply to cannot use Crypt::GPG for CGI by opticalcarrier
