I am trying to decrypt an Open PGP message string that was created with the haneWIN Javascript Open PGP encrypter. (http://www.hanewin.net/encrypt)

I have a file at "$BASEDIR/private.pgp" with my private key and a file at "$BASEDIR/public.pgp" with my public key. (I am running this in a CGI page.)

Here's the code I'm trying...
use Crypt::OpenPGP; use Crypt::OpenPGP::KeyRing; my $PGPEncryptedMessage = "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----Version: haneWIN + JavascriptPG v2.0hIwDAAAAAAAAAAABA/4oJfsBR88yts6eY22RJDwEFyhxi2KWIJx +6BR8fufIDN4j3H79sCTN3UHDYoCV5zluSyhdSmM8beF1+hQ7PvSsonDOXrGfovIb9/cIt +QQg1CrgI63Xje85qWW3IUpebnt4UlPnXx1sxK46GtJIEckYppWbXubCunAdFhhCyiq4ZB +qQnZ9EAojfFrI8zkVIC/gq7cMZsu1wgn7/lcUvFewUNWWrU8ykAiC5t=R2eG-----END +PGP MESSAGE-----"; my $arg; my $secring = Crypt::OpenPGP::KeyRing->new(Filename => "$BASEDIR/priva +te.pgp") or die "Error: ".Crypt::OpenPGP::KeyRing->errstr; my $pubring = Crypt::OpenPGP::KeyRing->new(Filename => "$BASEDIR/publi +c.pgp") or die "Error: ".Crypt::OpenPGP::KeyRing->errstr; $arg{SecRing} = $secring; $arg{PubRing} = $pubring; my $pgp = Crypt::OpenPGP->new(%arg); my $message = $pgp->decrypt(Data => $PGPEncryptedMessage) or die "Erro +r: ".$pgp->errstr; print $cgi->header(); print "The secret message is: ".$message;
When I run this it errors out on the $pgp->decrypt call and I get the following error message back...
"Error: Reading data packets failed: Unrecognizable armour"

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks
