blurb: |
  PGP::Sign is a Perl module for generating and verifying detached OpenPGP
  signatures of textual data using GnuPG.  It was written to support Netnews
  article signatures for signed control messages and PGPMoose.

description: |
  PGP::Sign is a Perl module that can generate and verify OpenPGP signatures
  on some data.  Currently, only textual data (data that can be processed
  using GnuPG's `--textmode` option) is supported.  It uses GnuPG under the
  hood to do the work.

  The original purpose of this module was to factor out common code in a
  News::Article class written by Andrew Gierth that handled PGPMoose and
  control message signatures.  It is used to verify control message
  signatures for the ftp.isc.org Netnews metadata archive, and to generate
  signed control messages for the Big Eight Usenet hierarchies.

  Data to be signed or verified can be passed into PGP::Sign in a wide
  variety of formats: scalars, arrays, open files, even code references that
  act as generators.  Keys with passphrases are supported and the passphrase
  is passed to GnuPG securely (although getting the passphrase to the
  PGP::Sign module is a problem for the calling application).

  This module supports both GnuPG v2 and GnuPG v1 and, when used with GnuPG
  v1, supports using OpenPGP keys and generating and verifying signatures
