Qed/Ryan et al,
Yes you have to pass the filter a seed to run the encryption but I have
to admit I don't know how it decrypts the code automagically. Ben Mord
and I took this offline and he likened the resulting block to a fancy
lock with the key in it b/c the seed I passed to start the encryption
has to be available to Perl when it interprets my code. I suspect you
would agree. Ben has a similar need for automated decryption as I do
but does the decryption via a specialized computer dedicated to the task
whose access and config is tightly controlled - see his response.
Do either of you guys do automated decryption? This doesn't seem to be
addressed in the FAQ - just automated signing. I'm open to suggestions.
btw - am I screwing up my responses? There seem to be mult. threads
being generated. I'm just hitting reply.

thinking I was only hiding it in clear text?
Simply I don't know anything about this perl module, but where the key
to decrypt the passphrase would be stored? If such a safe place exists
why not using it directly for the gpg passphrase?
