Re^2: "require MIME::Base64" vs "use..."

Yes, that works thanks stevieb!

So "require" was insufficient by itself because I was trying to access one of the functions of MIME::Base64, but that function hadn't been imported, right?

Yes, and you could have used it anyway if you called it by its full package name: `#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use 5.010; require MIME::Base64; my $x = MIME::Base64::encode_base64('abc'); say $x;` [download] `$ perl 1133493.pl $ YWJj $` [download] Note the extra new line ... you will probably want to `chomp` what you get back from `encode_base64` ....
