Crypt::OpenPGP memory use

B

Bing Du Test

Greetings,

Has anybody had experience with Crypt::OpenPGP, specifically decrypting
large files?

my $plaintext = $pgp->decrypt(
Filename => $encryptedfile,
Passphrase => $pass,
);

In my case, the original file in clear text is about 50M. After
encrypted, it's about 10M and stored in $encryptedfile. It appeared
that decrypting $encrytedfile eat A LOT memory like 300M+, I had to
terminate the decrypting process in fear that too much mem use could
affect the system negatively. Just want to know if I picked the wrong
module in the first place? Or are there any workarounds? Anyway, I
appreciate any help at this point.
