Subject: decoding a base64 corrupts the file contained on MIME::Base64 3.07_01 from activestate repo on Windows with Perl 5.10.0
I needed to use base64 on Windows to decode an attachment to an e-mail. On Linux both versions 3.07 and 3.08(latest at the time of writing this) worked OK , but on Windows I got a corrupted 7z ( the base64 coded file is a 7z). I am sending this along with an executable that you can find here also http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/base64/base64.zip . I had to fallback to this in order to be able to decode my base64. On Linux base64 -d complained of "invalid input" but MIME::Base64 worked silently and well. However , on Windows , MIME::Base64 didn't mention any errors but the resulting file was corrupted. -- Your bugs , they are afraid of me.
