Thanks for the report. I will look into making the necessary changes so that any #! line at the top of a file to be encrypted/decrypted is preserved.
However, I can't reproduce your problem of the "Can't continue decryption" error if I manually add a #! line to an encrypted script.
For example, if I encrypt this:
print "Hello, world.\n";
then I get something like this, which runs fine:
use Filter::Crypto::Decrypt;
3b7dc0cefea93b18fa3d4739e9a3e05494a9f522aed48ffb70b1f6ae7466fa7c68cc569922965cccf345a33b550279800b4d83e4ac37aceee6332ce9ba76ea5b2759674cfbb93621
and if I add a #! line to the top of that, like this:
#!perl
use Filter::Crypto::Decrypt;
3b7dc0cefea93b18fa3d4739e9a3e05494a9f522aed48ffb70b1f6ae7466fa7c68cc569922965cccf345a33b550279800b4d83e4ac37aceee6332ce9ba76ea5b2759674cfbb93621
then it still runs fine.
Is that what you're doing? If so and it really doesn't work for you for some reason then there will be little point in me making changes to preserve a #! line!
