GnuPG::Interface
My Web host installed GnuPG and GnuPG::Interface. I generated some keys and
wrote a script that encrypts data using GnuPG::Interface commands.
Permissions were set by my Web host so that Gnu can be run by user nobody
through CGI. I also used GnuPG::Interface to send stderr to a variable for
printing any error messages. The script runs perfectly through Telnet, but
not through CGI. Through CGI, the script runs but returns no encrypted data
and no error messages. Does anyone know why this would happen or where to
start looking for the source of the problem?

I should put this up as a FAQ in SourceForge's documentation for
GnuPG::Interface. Your problem is likely due to permissions problems,
such as readability of $gnupg->options->homedir(), and the public keys
related. Capture the output of GnuPG's stderr, print it to your stdout.

Let me know how you solved the problem so I can make a good canned
response.
