The system reacted oddly in not recognizing my logged-in status, so I want to reprint the problem-request
------
Several of our apps relied on MIME::Base64 class. Our hosting admins (outside our control) upgraded modules, and now the 'use' reference, namely
use MIME::Base64;

breaks the process with the following error
-->
MIME::Base64 object version 3.01 does not match bootstrap parameter 3.05 at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/DynaLoader.pm line 245.
-->
A new version of the package does indeed uses version of 3.05, we checked that.
This has broken down two of our major apps on the Web. We are waiting for them to resolve this but meanwhile:

1. Is there anything we as a user can do to correlate these two versions, 3.01 vs 3.05 by overriding these parameters locally?
2. What should they (the admins) do to fix this problem in their installation (some config files), in case "they are not really sure" :>))?
3. If the worst comes to the worst and this impossibility drags on, do you know a pure Perl implementation of Base64.encode_base64 routine. We do have its .XS implementation but it is not reliably portable into Perl which we can add to our code set until this mishap is resolved?

Thanks.
