You need to use either
1) The old MIME-tools with all the patches applied,
or
2) The new MIME-tools with the new MIME::Base64.

I'm not sure what happens with the old MIME-tools with the new
MIME::Base64, I'm not convinced it will work, but it should complain fairly
quickly if it won't. I strongly advise you send a few test messages through
it, some with eicar in them to test it.

These problems should all go away with the latest beta.
