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
