What's the purpose of this module? I can't seem to find it anywhere on my system.

Hi,

This module, while not essential is recommended. It provides C code to decode/encode base64 attachments. Gossamer Mail will use it if it's available, but if not, will fall back to a perl version. This will mean if you don't have it installed, large attachments can be a bit slow to send or receive.

Cheeers,

Alex

I can't find the module on my system. Any idea where I could download it? (I'm relatively new to Perl. Please ignore my ignorance. ;)

Best thing to do is type:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install MIME::Base64'

and it will download and install it for you. Otherwise, you can go to:

http://mirrors.gossamer-threads.com/...ules/by-module/MIME/

and download the MIME::Base64 package.

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I spent some time learning how to use CPAN last night. Extremely helpful. I wish there was something like that in the Micro$oft/IIS/ASP world.

there is... from command prompt run 'ppm'. Everything you can do in cpan you can do in ppm.

Happy coding,
