IIRC Expect just manipulates STDIN/STDOUT and that should be what you are messing with wrt GPG. In this case assuming you are working on a relatively new Perl you might check, perldoc IPC::Open3 GPG can be a nightmare to work with in this respect, I have done it (it wasn't pretty ;-)) but not importing keys and setting trust levels.
