Have you checked the PGP related modules on CPAN?

Have you checked the Zip module on CPAN?
CPAN/modules/04pause.html suggests:
Also: think carefully and honestly whether your module would
be better off if it were integrated as an option into an already
existing module. Sometimes it is for the best to put aside
personal glory and join a collaborative effort: Perl itself is a
good example of this. Contact the author of an existing module
and ask whether your new features would fit into his framework.
Even if you in the end decide to release the module as your very
own, you really should know your 'competition', that is, know all
the similar modules and the features they offer. Maybe you can
learn from them.
Please keep our CPAN lively. CPAN must not degenerate into a write
only archive.
