    If you are not a sys admin, ask your sys admin.

      I am waiting for responses from them - unfortunately due to our size we have one group that builds new systems and then washes their hands, another group that does upgrades like this ML upgrade to AIX and washes their hands, and another group that sort of deals with issues like this but is massively understaffed. So it's not as easy as you might think. Thanks for the help.

    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;
    or from the command line:
    perl -MMIME::Base64 -le 1
