Re^3: Decrypting a message with Crypt::OpenPGP

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.

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.
