Re: Replacing a module dependency

G'day Bod,

"... which in turn requires MIME::Base64. This last module is XS and I don't have it installed on the shared hosting."

This statement surprised me. MIME::Base64 is a core module. Even if your shared hosting is only providing you with Perl v5.8, you should have it.

$ corelist MIME::Base64

Data for 2021-05-20
MIME::Base64 was first released with perl v5.7.3
[download]

Perl 5.8.0 was released 20 years ago (18-Jul-2002^perlhist). I would recommend asking your provider to install this module immediately; if they refuse, find a new provider.

Thanks Ken,

I hadn't realise that MIME::Base64 was core!

What I had done was to SSL onto the server and type

perl -e "use MIME::Base64"
[download]

Authen::SASL

Having found it is core I have checked again and found that MIME::Base64 is there. I guess I must have put in a typo :(

So now I have a different issue to resolve...

Niether of these throw an error:

perl -e "use MIME::Base64"
perl -e "use Authen::SASL"
[download]

MIME::Lite

SMTP auth() command failed: No such file or directory
Need MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL todo auth
[download]

UPDATE:
Solved the error - it's a quirk of cPanel that I need to use cPanelUserConfig; to add all the correct paths to @INC when I've installed modules. Authen::SASL in this case.
