    That is great! - but I cannot seem to figure how to get at the file
    descriptor that Perl is looking to use.  Has anyone used this option?

If you want to do it from Perl, try GnuPG::Interface,
http://gnupg-interface.sourceforge.net/
This module will handle passing the passphrase for you, if you wish, or
you can do it yourself using the module with ease.
