I'm looking for the right GPG Perl module to use for a small project. I see there are numerous competing modules providing almost identical functionality, but some have a slew of unaddressed bugs, haven't received an update in half a decade, etc. Is there a GPG module one should always use, or do I just need to bite the bullet and assess which is the best for my needs and whose bugs will have the least impact?

I recently used Ruby's GPGME module to do some pretty cool stuff with GPG. GPGME is a C library, and various people have ported it to other scripting languages. I'd try out the following one and see if it works for you. It should function as if you're writing a native GPGME-linked C program.

Crypt::GpgME

Cheers!

    Since you've posted, there has been 3 more releases of Crypt::GpgME. You should link to the permalink: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Crypt-GpgME/ – Leolo Dec 04 '10 at 07:03
  • @Leolo, that's the permalink to the distribution's page. The permalink equivalent to the original link is http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Crypt::GpgME – cjm Dec 16 '10 at 08:12
  • @cjm I find the dist link more useful then the perldoc link. YMMV. – Leolo Dec 17 '10 at 20:46
  • @Leolo, I generally prefer to go straight to the documentation. It's not that big a deal, as each page links directly to the other page, but the link from the docs to the dist is a bit easier to find. – cjm Dec 17 '10 at 21:59
