Benchmarking the above (as CGI not mod_perl)(including use and new)...
1000 times gives me:
Crypt::OpenPGP: 83 wallclock secs (73.21 usr + 6.12 sys = 79.34 CPU)
100 times gives me:
Crypt::OpenPGP: 9 wallclock secs ( 7.52 usr + 0.70 sys = 8.22 CPU)
10 times gives me:
Crypt::OpenPGP: 1 wallclock secs ( 0.97 usr + 0.09 sys = 1.06 CPU)

I should have added that Crypt::OpenPGP is a
"pure perl" implimentation of OpenPGP. So as long as
you install it its pretty much as portable as you can get.
