}Anyone have an idea what's wrong with the compile of this short file:
}
}use LWP::Simple;
}
}produces:

(Not again....  When is 5.15r4 coming out, Matthias?)

You've fixed the syntax error in :MacPerl
Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:dl_findfile.al, right?  You've put an extra right
brace (}) after line 97?  And you've checked to make *sure* that
:MIME:Base64.pm isn't Unix text?  This is not always easy to tell by just
opening it up with a Mac text editor, because most of them deal with Unix
text with no trouble.  Alpha, for one, will tell you what type a text file
is, and I'm told BBEdit does as well.

}I'm using the MIME64, libwww, etc. as-is without any mods.

Incidentally, if by "without mods" you mean "out of the .tar.gz from CPAN",
you'll discover that some of it just won't work.  Go to
<http://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/Scripts/> to get my MacPerl port of
libwww, which fixes most of the remaining issues.  In particular, the CPAN
libwww-perl doesn't deal with the Mac filesystem at all.

}When I look at "MIME/Base64.pm" it looks normal and ends with "1;" as
}expected!
