[Mimedefang] MIME::Tools 5.414 is released

I had the same error on Solaris 9 (Sparc). Also couldn't get 
mimedefang-2.45 to configure without the --disable-check-perl-modules 
switch. The error messages were similarly misleading. It was due to 
incompatible Base64.so even though I had installed Base64-3.05.

Try

find /usr/local/lib/perl5 "Base64.so" -exec ls -al {} \;

and check dates on files that turn up.

My problem was solved by replacing an older version of Base64.so
(/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/sun4-solaris/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.so)
with the new one that was installed into
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solaris/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.so
