I'm trying to install MD on a CentOS 4.3. I downloaded the perl 
dependencies and built the rpms (using cpanflute2). When I try
to install MIME::Base64 I get some conflicts and the installation aborts:

[root at localhost ~]# rpm -i perl-MIME-Base64-3.03-8.i386.rpm
         file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/MIME/Base64.pm from install of perl-MIME-Base64-3.03-8 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-24.RHEL4
         file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm from install of perl-MIME-Base64-3.03-8 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-24.RHEL4
         file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.so from install of perl-MIME-Base64-3.03-8 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-24.RHEL4
         file /usr/share/man/man3/MIME::Base64.3pm.gz from install of perl-MIME-Base64-3.03-8 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-24.RHEL4
         file /usr/share/man/man3/MIME::QuotedPrint.3pm.gz from install of perl-MIME-Base64-3.03-8 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-24.RHEL4

It seems Base64.pm is part of the default perl installation now. Is it safe
to edit the mimedefang.spec file and remove the perl-MIME-Base64 dependency
or should I force the perl-MIME-Base64 install?

Thanks in advance.
