Here is a little patch I found at
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/serve/cache/307.html:
*** Convert-BinHex-1.119.ori/t/Checker.pm 2004-06-08
05:49:44.960015512 +0200
--- Convert-BinHex-1.119/t/Checker.pm 2004-06-08 05:50:05.415905744 +0200
***************
*** 1,4 ****
--- 1,5 ----
package Checker;
+ require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw($CHECK okay_if note check filter_warnings);
After patching Checker.pm, the "make test" and "make install" went fine, and
now
perl -e 'use MIME::Decoder::BinHex; print
$MIME::Decoder::BinHex::VERSION,"\n"'
comes back with the version number (5.415) instead of a compile error.
