     ~ is a shell alias for $HOME.  If this environment variable is not
set, then gpg will fail.  Try running this cgi:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<TABLE BORDER=1>\n";
while(($k,$v) = each %ENV)
 {
  print "<TR><TD>$k</TD><TD>$v</TD></TR>\b";
 }
print "</TABLE>\n";
exit 0;

     If you do not see HOME listed, then you'll probably need to set
it in your script.  In Perl, do:

$ENV{"HOME"} = "/usr/local/www";  # or whatever your user nobody homedir is.
