GPG Key

Various files have Gnu PG ASCII armoured signatures from me as end-to-end verifications. My current 4096R key is

Previous 1024D key 2C530221 5F6ADD3A was key.gpg (binary), key.gpg.asc (ASCII), and the same at GNU savannah or keyserver like at pgp.mit.edu. The new is signed by the old so trust should go transitively.

All .asc signatures are from the new key (its subkey). The Perl dists containing SIGNATURE files are either old or new according to when released (but gradually having re-releases to the new). cpansign post defaults to SHA256 so can benefit from bigger key.

Of course there's limited point giving key finding instructions here. Unless you get it or verify by an independent channel then it's not much better than a checksum.

All of tuxfamily can be reached by either http or https. Links here to the download area are mostly https in the interests of maintaining privacy and security for getting software or software instructions. The HTTPS SSL certificate is from tuxfamily.

Checking signatures or certificates and their origins is a good idea. Bait sites or scammers make block copies of all sorts of stuff. Presumably real content even when copied rates in the search engines.
