I hate RPM...
If you look at the mimedefang.pl source, you'll see it moves the site_lib
directory to the beginning of @INC with a "use lib" directive.
So install your MIME::Base64 module in site_lib and you should be OK...
... UNLESS you build an RPM with MIME::Base64 in site_lib, in which
case the *#&$*#$& RPM dependency mechanism still gets all upset and
tries to downgrade you.

David.
