Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID 1.03

Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID is a Perl module with a PGP User ID packet.

SYNOPSIS

 use Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID;

 my $uid = Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID->new( Identity => 'Foo' );
 my $serialized = $uid->save;

 my $uid = Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID->parse($buffer);
 my $identity = $uid->id;

Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID is a PGP User ID packet. Such a packet is used to represent the name and email address of the key holder, and typically contains an RFC822 mail name like

 Foo Bar

USAGE

Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID->new( [ Identity => $identity ] )

Creates a new User ID packet object and returns that object. If you do not supply an identity, the object is created empty; this is used, for example, in parse (below), to create an empty packet which is then filled from the data in the buffer.

If you wish to initialize a non-empty object, supply new with the Identity parameter along with a value $identity which should generally be in RFC822 form (above).
$uid->save

Returns the text of the user ID packet; this is the string passed to new (above) as $identity, for example.
Crypt::OpenPGP::UserID->parse($buffer)

Given $buffer, a Crypt::OpenPGP::Buffer object holding (or with offset pointing to) a User ID packet, returns a new object, initialized with the user ID data in the buffer.
$uid->id

Returns the user ID data (eg. the string passed as $identity to new, above).
