Problem with GnuPG file encryption thru asterisk PBX.

[cchla1021]

Hello,
I have problem to encrypt file thru asterisk PBX.
I can encrypt a file when using GnuPG from the command line.
gpg -e -r cchl...@yahoo.com record_mode.gsm then tap enter.
It will generate record_mode.gsm.gpg encryption file.

But I failed to generate encryption file "record_mode.gsm.gpg" when I
dial number 1234 into asterisk phone system.

/*******************************************************
This is my simple test extensions_custom script:
extensions_custom.conf
[from-internal-custom]
exten => 1234,1,SayDigits(1234)
exten => 1234,2,System(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/dictate/test.pl)
exten => 1234,3,Wait(3)
exten => 1234,4,Hangup()
exten => h,1,Hangup()

/*******************************************************
My simple perl testing script
test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $pid = system("gpg -e -r cchla1021\@yahoo.com record_mode.gsm");

waitpid $pid,0;
/*******************************************************

If I simply execute test.pl through command line, file can be
encrypted and generate "record_mode.gsm.gpg". Crying or Very sad

I've also changed test.pl ownership and user group to
asterisk:asterisk as below command:
chown astersk:asterisk test.pl
chmod 777 test.pl

-rwxrwxrwx 1 asterisk asterisk 133 Jul 31 14:58 test.pl

Any input from everybody, I am greatly appreciate. I believe this
small testing will also enlighten some people who wish to use GnuPG
free open source for file encryption in asterisk system.

Have you tried using the System application to call gpg directly? I
don't see why you're using System() to call Perl to call gpg.

Also, is Asterisk running as the root user or as user "asterisk"?
