Hello, Week two noob here.
I am writing a script to download encrypted files using ftp then after they're downloaded decrypt them. I can't seem to get the GPG decrypt module to work though. The script does work when I use "system" to call another script using gpg directly. Here is the script. I would like to use straight perl instead of using system. Any suggestions. Also, I am new so any suggestions on proper coding would be helpful. Thx. P.S. I realize gpgdecrypt could be done in bash without making use of system again. That's easy. [ftpDecrypt] #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Net::FTP; my $server_name = "ftp.server.com"; my $user_name = "useraccount"; my $pass_word = "password"; my $secret = "gpgSecret"; my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($server_name, Debug => 0) or die "Cannot connect to some.host.name: $@"; $ftp->login($user_name, $pass_word) or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->message; my @directory = $ftp->ls(); foreach my $dir (@directory){ if ($dir =~ (/*.gpg/)){ $ftp->get("$dir") or die "get failed ", $ftp->message; system "/dir/to/gpgdecrypt < $dir"; print "$dir\n"; } } $ftp->quit; [gpgdecrypt] #!/usr/bin/perl -w chomp($today = `date +%Y%m%d`); system 'gpg --batch --passphrase-fd 3 --decrypt $1 3</dir/passph -- status-fd 1 --output decryptedFile' . "$today"; ! $? or warn "failed to decrypt\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
