i got error :
% ./test.pl
error determining fileno for IO::Handle=GLOB(0xd2e18):  at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/
site_perl/5.005/GnuPG/Interface.pm line 363.
%
script is as attached.

any suggestion ? i'm not a regular perl programmer, just when i have to.
or somebody with working script or example please ?

thanks,
--fg.

-------------- ny script, start --------------

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use IO::Handle;
use IO::File;
use GnuPG::Interface;

$datadir = "/data";
$output_file = "./of";
$input_file = "./if";
$passphrase = "MyPassword";

$gnupg = GnuPG::Interface->new();
$gnupg->options->meta_interactive(0);

chdir "$datadir" or die "Can't cd to data dir : $datadir \n";
&decrypt_input_file;

sub decrypt_input_file {

     $input = IO::Handle->new();
     $output = IO::File->new( ">$output_file");
     $errfile = IO::File->new( ">>$TEMP_STDERR");
     $passphrase_fh = IO::Handle->new();

     $handles = GnuPG::Handles->new(stdin=>$input,
stdout=>$output,stderr=>$errfile, passphrase=>$passphrase_fh);
     $handles->options( 'stdout' )->{direct} = 1;
     $handles->options( 'stderr' )->{direct} = 1;

     # when i put below line as suggested, i got error metioned above.
     $handles->options( 'stdin' )->{direct} = 1;

     $cipher_file = IO::File->new("<$input_file");
     $pid = $gnupg->decrypt(handles=>$handles);
     print $passphrase_fh $passphrase;
     close $passphrase_fh;

     print $input $_ while <$cipher_file>;

     close $input;
     close $cipher_file;
     close $errfile;

     waitpid $pid, 0;

     close $output;
     return (1);
}
