True. You are right... those longer keys are not really for symmetric crypto. I will look more into gpg (gpg - OpenPGP encryption and signing tool man page):

GnuPG::Tie(3pm) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   GnuPG::Tie(3pm)

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. AUTHOR
