encrypt a batch of files at once, using the same passphrase, and
entering the passphrase only once for the whole batch. I tried the
following (and I am no pearl programmer, beware):
I highly recommend using GnuPG::Interface, a Perl module to help
interacting with GnuPG via filehandles. It is available from CPAN, or
from http://gnupg-interface.sourceforge.net/
