I tried that code ... what does this error mean?

Can't locate MIME/Base64.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6 +.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i38 +6-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at + /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTTP/Headers.pm line 588.

    You must install module MIME::Base64. Download it from the previous link, unpack it and follow instructions contained in README. If you want a simpler way, just fire up a CPAN shell (perl -MCPAN -e shell) and type install MIME::Base64.

    It means you need to install the MIME::Base64 module, base64 is used to encode the username and password when accessing web pages protected with http basic auth.
