MIME::64 and encodebase64url

hughbar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to make an RPM package for a Perl open source project. I'm using Amazon EC2 to ensure that I have a 'clean' environment.

However 'their' MIME::Base64 on 64 bit architecture I think this is architecture specific? doesn't include en/decodebase64url which my package needs. So I've tried to include a newer version within my specific lib and get to: Attempt to reload MIME/Base64.pm aborted now I'm stuck.

Also, what I've chosen to try currently is fairly ugly and it doesn't work! anyway and I'm wondering whether there's a 'good' way of dealing with this?

All the best Hugh

Have you tried to build all the required libs and modules yourself? Usually that fixes alot of problems due to mis-matched RPM's and such. Attempt to reload MIME/Base64.pm aborted What does that mean? I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply]

Thanks, I'll give that a spin, but (obviously) I'd prefer something else as the solution for the package, since the object of the exercise is to make things 'easier' for the package user.	[reply]

Attempt to reload MIME/Base64.pm aborted This doesn't look like an error message from perl itself. What system emits this error message? Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply]
