With strace, I could see the command that was executed: gpg --verify --batch --no-tty -q --logger-fd=1 --keyserver=hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371
on a temporary file, but almost equivalent to the CHECKSUMS file. Now, I can try that directly: qaa:~> gpg --verify --batch --no-tty -q --logger-fd=1 --keyserver=hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371 /home/vinc17/.cpan/sources/authors/id/C/CA/CAVAC/CHECKSUMS gpg: Signature made 2023-12-17T16:29:09 CET gpg: using RSA key 77576125A905F1BA gpg: Good signature from "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2024 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2023 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2003 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2005 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2007 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2009 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2015 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2017 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2019 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2021 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2022 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: aka "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2011 <pa...@pause.perl.org>" [unknown] gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
