SYNOPSIS

	   use GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt;
	   use GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt;

	   tie *CIPHER, 'GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt', armor => 1, recipient => 'User';
	   print CIPHER <<EOF;
       This is a secret
       EOF
	   local $/ = undef;
	   my $ciphertext = <CIPHER>;
	   close CIPHER;
	   untie *CIPHER;

	   tie *PLAINTEXT, 'GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt', passphrase => 'secret';
	   print PLAINTEXT $ciphertext;
	   my $plaintext = <PLAINTEXT>;

	   # $plaintext should now contains 'This is a secret'
	   close PLAINTEXT;
	   untie *PLAINTEXT;

DESCRIPTION

       GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt and GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt provides a tied  file handle interface to encryption/decryption facilities of the GNU Privacy
       guard.

       With GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt everyting you write to the file handle will be encrypted. You can read the ciphertext from the same file handle.

       With GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt you may read the plaintext equivalent of a ciphertext. This is one can have been written to file handle.

       All options given to the tie constructor will be passed on to the underlying GnuPG object. You can use a mix of options to output directly
       to a file or to read directly from a file, only remember than once you start reading from the file handle you can't write to it anymore.
