Sorry to ask another total newbie question, but could you please link to the source you mentioned you copied with modifications?

I'm not at all familiar with the Perl source tree or build process. To me, it appears MIME::Base64::encode method is a reference to the MIME::Base64::encode_base64 method (an external subroutine)? I do not see the XS encode_base64 method using pack(). What am I missing?

I'm code reading on GitHub, sorry for external links; can the Monks CPAN link shortcuts do source code with line number?

https://github.com/gisle/mime-base64/blob/master/Base64.pm#L16
https://github.com/mirrors/perl/blob/blead/cpan/MIME-Base64/Base64.xs#L97

Thanks again!
