Bug #66025 for MIME-tools: MIME::Words: unexpected case when decoding newlines in input

Hi I'm forwarding this bugreport reported in Debian BTS [1]. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/614545 Doing this in 5.501 result in: perl -MMIME::Words=decode_mimewords -e 'decode_mimewords("\nx")' MIME::Words: unexpected case: ( x) pos 0 Please alert developer. The same with 5.428 gives no warning.
