Re^2: Decrypting a message with Crypt::OpenPGP

Great Thanks. I put in the changes you indicated and now I am getting a different error.
It says... "Error: Can't find a secret key to decrypt message"
The private.pgp and public.pgp files are binary and have something like کڈGُ4... in them
I think it is finding these files okay because if I change the $secring assignment line to look for private1.pgp which doesn't exist it fails saying it can't find that file on that line.
Am I missing something?
Any ideas about what is wrong now?

Thanks

I don't have experience with this particular module only with PGP/GPG in general, so I saw this error. I know however that there are different binary formats for RSA/DSA keys, and PGP/GPG keys are such. E.g. I had to convert an binary RSA key generated under Windows once to a different format to use it under Linux. Just try to import the binary key with GPG or the PGP freeware and then to export it again in ASCII format.	[reply]

Thanks for your help... I finally got this worked out. One thing I had forgotten was the Passphrase. `my $message = $pgp->decrypt(Data => $PGPEncryptedMessage, Passphrase => "secret_passphrase") or die "Error: ".$pgp->errstr;` The other thing was that I had accidentally encrypted the original message with the wrong keyID. I found the software here useful in generating some keys to encode/decode with. http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/versions/freeware/dos/2.6.3i/ It allows you to specify your passphrase when you generate.
