Mail::GnuPG(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::GnuPG(3)

Mail::GnuPG - Process email with GPG.

  use Mail::GnuPG;
  my $mg = new Mail::GnuPG( key => 'ABCDEFGH' );
  $ret = $mg->mime_sign( $MIMEObj, 'you@my.dom' );

Use GnuPG::Interface to process or create PGP signed or encrypted email.

  Create a new Mail::GnuPG instance.

 Arguments:
   Paramhash...

   key    => gpg key id
   keydir => gpg configuration/key directory
   passphrase => primary key password
   use_agent => use gpg-agent if non-zero
   always_trust => always trust a public key
   # FIXME: we need more things here, maybe primary key id.

 Decrypt an encrypted message

 Input:
   MIME::Entity containing email message to decrypt.

  The message can either be in RFC compliant-ish multipart/encrypted
  format, or just a single part ascii armored message.

 Output:
  On Failure:
    Exit code of gpg.  (0 on success)

  On Success: (just encrypted)
    (0, undef, undef)

  On success: (signed and encrypted)
    ( 0,
      keyid,           # ABCDDCBA
      emailaddress     # Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
    )

   where the keyid is the key that signed it, and emailaddress is full
   name and email address of the primary uid


  $self->{last_message} => any errors from gpg
  $self->{plaintext}    => plaintext output from gpg
  $self->{decrypted}    => parsed output as MIME::Entity

 determines the decryption key (and corresponding mail) of a message

 Input:
   MIME::Entity containing email message to analyze.

  The message can either be in RFC compliant-ish multipart/signed
  format, or just a single part ascii armored message.

 Output:
  $key    -- decryption key
  $mail   -- corresponding mail address

 verify a signed message

 Input:
   MIME::Entity containing email message to verify.

  The message can either be in RFC compliant-ish multipart/signed
  format, or just a single part ascii armored message.

  Note that MIME-encoded data should be supplied unmodified inside
  the MIME::Entity input message, otherwise the signature will be
  broken. Since MIME-tools version 5.419, this can be achieved with
  the C<decode_bodies> method of MIME::Parser. See the MIME::Parser
  documentation for more information.

 Output:
  On error:
    Exit code of gpg.  (0 on success)
  On success
    ( 0,
      keyid,           # ABCDDCBA
      emailaddress     # Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
    )

   where the keyid is the key that signed it, and emailaddress is full
   name and email address of the primary uid. The email/uid is UTF8
   encoded, as output by GPG.

  $self->{last_message} => any errors from gpg

Does the keyring have a public key for the specified email address?

 FIXME: document better.  talk about caching.  maybe put a better
 interface in.

 Output:
