[Mpls-pm] MIME::Base64 on Windows

[Gypsy Rogers]

I didn't use CGI.pm because it was a quicky test script to
prove a point... when use MIME::Base64; is uncommented the
script times out, when it is commented out the script works
fine. The script I sent was my test not the actual script
which was too long and might have had other errors in it.
