I use MIME::Entity.

The problem is that cpan-mac guesses a macbinary file is one ending in .bin
and is binary.  This is not correct; it thinks the .bin file is macbinary,
it tries to convert it, and fails.  I believe Paul Schinder now has an
is_binary function that should be used instead.  This is on my personal
TODO list.  However, my guess is that it is installed properly regardless,
since those files are just for testing.

So try using MIME::Entity now.  It is likely already installed properly.
If not, just unpack the MIME-Entity distribution with Stuffit Expander or
something (see http://pudge.net/macperl/macperlmodinstall.html for more
methods), and then drop the resulting folder on the installme droplet that
comes with cpan-mac.
