need help installing patches on perl module MIME::tools

[Ed Ortiz]

You may need to use the GNU version of patch, not the one provided with Solaris, if this is the OS you're using.  After installing thge GNU version use /usr/local/bin/patch and follow Julian's instructions.

Just my two cents, hope it helps.

Get into the directory containing the unpacked mime-tools .tar.gz file, and do
         patch -p1 < mime-tools-patch.txt
If "-p1" doesn't work nicely, then try "-p0". Then do the same command for
each of the other patch files.

Just needs 5.005 or later.
