[Mimedefang] MIME-tools-5.417

[Shawn Gendle]

Hi folks,
I am having a problem with the new MIME-tools module. I had to add the 
following line to Makefile.PL so that MIME::Base64 ver 3.03 could be found:
use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0';  --> running RHES 3 u4

"perl Makefile.PL" returns:
Checking for module File::Path (version 1)... ok.
Checking for module File::Spec (version 0.6)... ok.
Checking for module IO::Stringy (version 1.211)... ok.
Checking for module MIME::Base64 (version 3.03)... ok.
Checking for module Mail::Field (version 1.05)... ok.
Checking for module Mail::Header (version 1.01)... ok.
Checking for module Mail::Internet (version 1.0203)... ok.
Writing Makefile for MIME-tools

"make test" returns:

t/Misc...........FAILED tests 4-5, 7-11

Failed 1/10 test scripts, 90.00% okay. 7/231 subtests failed, 96.97% okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 29

Is this a case of modules that I don't have and don't need causing these 
errors? Or am I having problems with module version issues? I know I do 
have some perl issues on this system because Spamassassin 3 does not 
function properly. Will be moving to RH EL 4 soon and the BETA seems ok 
with everything, but for now...

TIA,
