I am trying to encrypt files and then put them someplace else. But after using Crypt::OpenPGP to encrypt them, the files are just sitting in memory as a text and I can't seem to push them to a file. If I put in print $ciphertext they appear in the log.txt file as the encrypted text. I need them in their own separate file to be moved around and so on.
Does anyone have any ideas?
See Code:
sub process_dir{

    my $directory = shift;
    my @file = &open_directory($directory);
    for my $processing(@file){
        my $file= &encrypt_file($processing);
        my $encrypted_output = "$dir/$processing"; #$dir is a global d
+eclared at the top
        open OUT, "> $encrypted_output" || die "can't $!";
        select OUT;
        print $file;
        rename("$dir/$file", "$dir/$file.pgp");
        }
}

sub encrypt_file{
    my $file = shift;
    my $pgp = Crypt::OpenPGP->new;
    my $ciphertext = $pgp-encrypt(
                    Filename => $file,
                    Recipient => $key_id,
                    Armour => 1,
                    );
    return($ciphertext);
