SYNOPSIS

# assumes a GnuPG::PublicKey object in $publickey
my $user_id = $publickey->user_ids_ref->[0]->as_string;

DESCRIPTION

OBJECT METHODS

This methods creates a new object. The optional arguments are initialization of data members;

compare( $other, $deep )

OBJECT DATA MEMBERS

as_string

A string of the user id.

A scalar holding the value GnuPG reports for the trust of authenticity (a.k.a.) validity of a key. See GnuPG's DETAILS file for details.

signatures

A list of GnuPG::Signature objects embodying the signatures on this user id.

revocations

A list of revocations associated with this User ID, stored as GnuPG::Signature objects (since revocations are a type of certification as well).
