Subject:	Encrypting plaintext

Can Crypt::GpgME be used to encrypt a message? It's not clear from the docs (unless I'm missing something) that this functionality is currently implemented.

encrypt is implemented in the underlying libgpgme library, but not bound to perl. When I initially wrote the module I only needed to sign and verify signatures and left encrypting/decrypting out. I will work on implementing those features. Expect a new release next week. -- BOFH excuse #97: Small animal kamikaze attack on power supplies

Hi Florian, Did you end up wrapping gpgme_op_decrypt and _encrypt? "next week" has come and gone by now :) If not I can try my hand at XS and add decryption and encryption support.
