<package name="perl-GnuPG-Interface" project="openSUSE:12.2">
  <title>Perl interface to GnuPG</title>
  <description>GnuPG::Interface and its associated modules are designed to provide an
object-oriented method for interacting with GnuPG, being able to perform
functions such as but not limited to encrypting, signing, decryption,
verification, and key-listing parsing.

How Data Member Accessor Methods are Created
    Each module in the GnuPG::Interface bundle relies on Any::Moose to
    generate the get/set methods used to set the object's data members.
    _This is very important to realize._ This means that any data member
    which is a list has special methods assigned to it for pushing,
    popping, and clearing the list.

Understanding Bidirectional Communication
    It is also imperative to realize that this package uses interprocess
    communication methods similar to those used in the IPC::Open3 manpage
    and the perlipc/"Bidirectional Communication with Another Process"
    manpage, and that users of this package need to understand how to use
    this method because this package does not abstract these methods for
    the user greatly. This package is not designed to abstract this away
    entirely (partly for security purposes), but rather to simply help
    create 'proper', clean calls to GnuPG, and to implement key-listing
    parsing. Please see the perlipc/"Bidirectional Communication with
    Another Process" manpage to learn how to deal with these methods.

Using this package to do message processing generally invovlves
    creating a GnuPG::Interface object, creating a GnuPG::Handles object,
    setting some options in its *options* data member, and then calling a
    method which invokes GnuPG, such as *clearsign*. One then interacts
    with with the handles appropriately, as described in the
    perlipc/"Bidirectional Communication with Another Process" manpage.</description>
