Just got to try this to update MIME-Base64 to 3.05 on FC2. The magic 
command looks like this:

cpanflute2 --buildall --use-usr-local --installdirs=site 
MIME-Base64-3.05.tar.gz

I installed the result and then built MIME-tools-5.417 and didn't get its 
warning about an old MIME-Base64, so it seems to work so far.
