Remove the older version (the one in site_perl)... oh, you
already discovered that...

Because the top of mimedefang.pl contains these lines:

# Move site library directory ahead of default library directory in @INC.
# That's so we can sanely package our own version of MIME::Base64 that
# won't conflict with the built-in one on RPM-based platforms.
use lib '@PERLINSTALLSITELIB@';

On most systems, the module in site_lib is newer than the core one.  On
yours, the opposite is the case and it blew up. :-(
