it does not seem to work with windows without needing a 100 other package Such as? Class::MethodMaker is the only listed pre-requisite.	[reply]

As of last night, there are no CPAN-testers results for the most recent Class:MethodMaker on Win32, and for the previous version there are only failures. So there's the problem. Class::MethodMaker doesn't work on Win32, which means that GnuGP::Interface doesn't either.	[reply]

Nope, the test suite is broken. 16601: Test broken on Win32 http://kobesearch.cpan.org/dist/Class-MethodMaker reports Win32 PPM packages for "Class-MethodMaker" ActiveState default Perl 5.6 repository [ v 1.12 ] uwinnipeg Perl 5.10 repository [ v 2.10 ] uwinnipeg Perl 5.6 repository [ v 2.07 ] uwinnipeg Perl 5.8 repository [ v 2.08 ]	[reply]

100 was over the top, you are right! :) i am basically getting this error: Can't locate auto/GnuPG/Interface/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: v:/perl/lib v:/perl/site/lib .) at v:/perl/lib/AutoLoader.pm line 160. at GnuPG/Interface.pm line 22 Any ideas?	[reply]

Yes, show your code. Did the test suite pass? Prerequisite test suite?	[reply]

Just want to throw this out there: could you make do just calling `gpg` with system calls or using IPC::Open3? For basic operation (encrypting, decrypting, signing messages), I think this would be enough. For example: use strict; use warnings; my $file = 'test.txt'; my $recipient = 'joe@example.com'; my ($armor) = (0); # 1 to generate ascii, 0 to work with binary system('gpg', $armor ? qw(--armor) : (), '--recipient' => $recipient, '--encrypt' => $file) and die "Exit code: $?"; system('gpg', '--output' => "${file}_decrypted", '--decrypt' => $file . ($armor ? ".asc" : ".gpg")) and die "Exit code: $?"; system('gpg', $armor ? qw(--armor) : (), "--output" => "${file}.sig", '--detach-sign' => $file) and die "Exit code: $?"; [download] Some of the key management could be a little too involved for this method, but depending on what you're trying to do, and seeing that there's not much out there on CPAN, maybe a simpler approach is warranted?
