Well, it was never really meant to be more than a quick fix. It strikes me
that herculean efforts towards making bogopass user-friendly (e.g. checking
for unbase64 failure) are kinda excessive.

I'd have to agree Perl is not ideal, nor is using a tempfile instead of
reading the thing into memory. Maybe I can work out a little C program to do
the same thing and cause less fuss :-)

A Pope has a Water Cannon.                               It is a Water Cannon.
He fires Holy-Water from it.                        It is a Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses it.                                 It is a Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses the Hell out of it.          It is a Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He has it pierced.                It is a Holey Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
