I've seen this before, but unsure if it was MS related. It means that the
padding character "=" (to archive complete four-character-sets) occours
erroneos on the first or second character of a set (due to incomplete
transmission or to Mr Klez sending us incomplete Attachments, I
believe).

I believe that perl is handling this without much harm: it's more a
warning than an error. You find some more details inside the given
perl-modul or it's related manpage (MIME::Base64).
