I pushed some fixes to it today so it would use the standard  
module.run\_command stuff, which also required updating  
module.run\_command a little. Basic problem was it was swallowing  
errors and I needed to know what was going wrong.

It seems to work for me based on my usage.

Note -- it does work a little differently now, as it doesn't call gpg.

It should also work with $FILE('path') and the with\_file lookup  
plugin, just pass it 'data' instead of 'url'. I didn't really test  
that part 🙂
