Never used it on windows, but if you are on the command line like when using it under Linux/Unix, can't you just give it some switch like -v to get some more verbose output so it tells you what it dislikes?
IIRC, after exporting and importing keys, they have somewhere in that process to be signed before usage.
Has good documentation and FAQ etc.:

Before giving the harddisk to the recycling center, check for a software that just overwrites the stuff with zeroes or something that has been there when you don't need it anymore or show it the 5kg hammer

Hi,
The general rule of thumb for assigning swap is double the RAM of the server, however, there are servers with 16GB or 32GB of RAM. Are we suppose to put aside 32GB and 64GB of swap respectively.

NAME
GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt - Tied filehandle interface to encryption with the GNU Privacy Guard.
GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt - Tied filehandle interface to decryption with the GNU Privacy Guard.
SYNOPSIS
use GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt;
use GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt;
tie *CIPHER, 'GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt', armor => 1, recipient => 'User';
print CIPHER <<EOF;
This is a secret
EOF
local $/ = undef;
my $ciphertext = <CIPHER>;
close CIPHER;
untie *CIPHER;
tie *PLAINTEXT, 'GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt', passphrase => 'secret';
print PLAINTEXT $ciphertext;
my $plaintext = <PLAINTEXT>;
# $plaintext should now contains 'This is a secret'
close PLAINTEXT;
untie *PLAINTEXT;
DESCRIPTION
GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt and GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt provides a tied file handle interface to encryption/decryption facilities of the GNU Privacy
guard.
With GnuPG::Tie::Encrypt everyting you write to the file handle will be encrypted. You can read the ciphertext from the same file handle.
With GnuPG::Tie::Decrypt you may read the plaintext equivalent of a ciphertext. This is one can have been written to file handle.
All options given to the tie constructor will be passed on to the underlying GnuPG object. You can use a mix of options to output directly
to a file or to read directly from a file, only remember than once you start reading from the file handle you can't write to it anymore.
