"here $from is 'MIME-Header'" Shouldn't it be 'utf8'? The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

I don't understand. Why do you think that `Encode::decode('MIME-Header',$str)` is going to do anything useful? `$ perl -Mstrict -MEncode -wE 'my $str="foo"; say encode("MIME-Header", + $str);' =?UTF-8?B?Zm9v?=` [download] The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
