While attempting to resolve some Perl module dependencies during an
installation of RT (Request Tracker), the version 5.427 of module
MIME::Entity would not install. It would download and build without
error, but the testing failed at t/Misc.t.
I'm using a Sun Solaris 10 platform, Sun Studio 12 C compiler, and Perl
5.8.4. Here is the relevant output from the CPAN 'install MIME::Entity'
command:

make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Many other people on the web have also run into this problem. I found
only one reference that resolved it: somebody else trying to use RT said
to install MIME::Base64 first.
My suggestion is that the module MIME::Base64 should be included as a
dependency of MIME::Entity.
It took me nearly two days of recompiling and testing to find this
rather trivial solution.
Thanks for listening.
