NAME

Mail::GPG::Result - Mail::GPG decryption and verification results

SYNOPSIS

$result = $mg->verify (
  entity => $entity
);

($decrypted_entity, $result) = $mg->decrypt (
  entity => $entity,
);

$long_string  = $result->as_string ( ... );
$short_string = $result->as_short_string;

$encrypted         = $result->get_is_encrypted;
$decryption_ok     = $result->get_enc_ok;
$encryption_key_id = $result->get_enc_key_id;
$encryption_mail   = $result->get_enc_mail;

$signed            = $result->get_is_signed;
$signature_ok      = $result->get_sign_ok;
$signed_key        = $result->get_sign_key_id;
$signed_mail       = $result->get_sign_mail;

$stdout_sref       = $result->get_gpg_stdout;
$stderr_sref       = $result->get_gpg_stderr;
$gpg_exit_code     = $result->get_gpg_rc;

DESCRIPTION

This class encapsulates decryption and verification results of Mail::GPG. You never create objects of this class yourself, they're all returned by Mail::GPG.

ATTRIBUTES

This class mainly has a bunch of attributes which reflect the result of a Mail::GPG operation. You can read these attributes with get_attribute.

is_encrypted

Indicates whether an entity was encrypted or not.

enc_ok

Indicates whether decryption of an entity was successful or not.

enc_key_id

The key ID of the sender who encrypted an entity.

enc_mail

The mail address of the sender who encrypted an entity.

is_signed

Indicates whether an entity was signed or not.

sign_ok

Indicates whether the signature could be verified successfully or not.

sign_key_id

The key ID of the sender who signed an entity.

sign_mail

The mail address of the sender who signed an entity.

gpg_stdout

This is reference to a scalar containing gpg's STDOUT output.

gpg_stderr

This is reference to a scalar containing gpg's STDERR output.

gpg_rc

Exit code of the gpg program.

METHODS

There are only two methods, both are for debugging purposes:

as_string

$string = $result->as_string (
  no_stdout => $no_stdout,
);

Returns a printable string version of the object.

no_stdout

If this option is set, gpg's stdout is ommitted in the string represenation.

as_short_string

$short_string = $result->as_short_string;

Returns a very short string representation, without any gpg output, arranged in one line.
