I mentioned this module in a posting a couple of weeks ago, and
several people expressed interest, so I thought I would make a
small announcement. Hope that's not frowned upon. :)
Crypt::OpenPGP is a pure-Perl implementation of the OpenPGP standard. In addition to support for the standard itself, Crypt::OpenPGP claims compatibility with many other PGP implementations, both those that support the standard and those that preceded it.
Crypt::OpenPGP provides digital signing/verification, encryption/decryption, keyring management, and key-pair generation.
Features:
- Full compatibility with other PGP implementations: PGP2, PGP5, GnuPG.
Offers a 'Compat' flag when encrypting and signing data that automatically
chooses the correct encryption cipher, digest algorithm etc. for various
other PGP implementations.
- Encryption/decryption, signing/verification, key generation.
- Symmetric cipher support: IDEA, 3DES, Blowfish, Twofish, Rijndael
(128, 192, and 256 bit keys).
- Public key support: RSA and DSA for signing/verification, RSA and
ElGamal for encryption.
- Digest algorithms: MD5, SHA-1, RIPE-MD/160.
- Supports packet compression (ZIP and Zlib).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
