Fellow monks,

I'm tearing my hair out over this and I can't seem to find any answers.

I'm working on an app that is going to be reading from a file that will be made up of PGP encrypted e-mails. I'm going to read these in to an array so that I can process them one at a time.

My problem is that I can't figure out how to get MIME::Decoder to decode anything when I feed it a scalar - even if it's wrapped in a filehandle via IO::Wrap. It all works fine if I'm reading and writing to files, but I don't want to have to write every message to a file, decode it, write it back to a different file, then open and read it again to decode it.

When I run this through the debugger, $decoded is 1 - which according to the docs means it decoded something, but I'm at a loss how to make this work with just scalars.

I'm sure I've got a syntactial error in how I'm trying to do it, but I can't find any examples of what I'm trying to.

use strict;

use Crypt::OpenPGP;
use Data::Dumper;
use MIME::Tools;
use MIME::Decoder;
use IO::Wrap;

$|++;


&decode;

sub decode {

    my $decoder = new MIME::Decoder "quoted-printable";

    my ($text, $outtext);
    {
    local $/;
    open(my $fh, '<', 'orders.txt') or die "Problem:$!";
    $text = <$fh>;
    }
    $text = wraphandle($text);
    $outtext = wraphandle($outtext);

    my $decoded = $decoder->decode( $text, $outtext);

Any help would be appreciated!
