but the libraries did not change... does that sound reasonable? Well, MIME::Base64 has definitely changed - and the change has been only half-implemented. From perl-5.8.0 onwards (I think), MIME::Base64 has been part of core perl so re-compiling perl, as suggested by the admins, would fix the problem. Another way to fix this particular problem would be to simply rebuild and reinstall MIME::Base64 (from CPAN source). But if there are a large number of other core perl modules that have been similarly affected then rebuilding perl might be the better option. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

If you are not a sys admin, ask your sys admin.	[reply]

how would i check to see what other modules have changed? It doesn't matter that a module might have changed, so long as the change was implemented correctly. You can check for this specific problem by simply trying to "use" a module. In a script: `use MIME::Base64;` [download] or from the command line: `perl -MMIME::Base64 -le 1` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
