	Yeah, I did this:

$messageProcessor->{extraArgs}   = [ '--homedir /home/nobody/.gnupg' ];

	When I should have done this:

$messageProcessor->{extraArgs}   = [ '--homedir', '/home/nobody/.gnupg' ];


	I have it all working now, thanks.  The only strange problem which
I had on my RedHat6.0 machine (which Frank couldn't reproduce on his
FreeBSD box) was a problem which produces repetitive output if a print
ending in a '\n' wasn't before calling:

$success = $messageProcessor->cipher( \@message);

	I.e., this works as expected:

print "hi there\n";
$success = $messageProcessor->cipher( \@message);

	This does not:

print "hi there";
$success = $messageProcessor->cipher( \@message);

	The output look like:

[...]hi therehi there[...]


	This seems to be a wacky bug in the Linux Perl provided by RedHat
from what I can tell.  It isn't hard to avoid once it is known, though.

	Thanks!
