MIME::Parser is part of the perl-MIME-tools. Did you install the version
patched by David? It's available throuh www.mimedefang.org.

Or you might run into a situation for which following is in the
mimedefang-filter (commented out):

#***********************************************************************
# Uncomment this to block messages with more than 50 parts.  This will
# *NOT* work unless you're using Roaring Penguin's patched version
# of MIME tools, version MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-02 or later.
#
# WARNING: DO NOT SET THIS VARIABLE unless you're using at least
# MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-02; otherwise, your filter will fail.
#***********************************************************************
# $MaxMIMEParts = 50;
