For me, in order to get the signature to verify, I first stripped the
carriage returns, and then put an echo before the "cat foo.asc" line.

So, in it's entirety:

( echo "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----"
  echo "Hash: SHA1"
  echo
  perl -wpe "s/\r//" < foo
  echo
  cat foo.asc
 ) | gpg --verify


This may be helpful to those of you writing small scripts.
