You might consider switching to Crypt::OpenPGP instead of GPG.pm. It seems to work fine.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);  #show us the errors in the browser
use Crypt::OpenPGP;                    

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

my $encrypted = $gpg->encrypt(
         Data => "Testing GPG",
         KeyID => $ARGV[0],
         Armour => 1,
   ) || die $gpg->errstr;

print <<"_END_";
Content-type: text/plain

Encrypted: -> $encrypted <-
_END_
