I've had a couple of head scratching evenings and the following are my
findings.
(For info, the system is a RAQ3 following along the lines of web.nexband.com
/ www.osoffice.co.uk [StrongBolt])
Following on from earlier posts
-------------------------------
I had installed the 'Server Configuration Tools' mentioned.
The perl-CGI was already installed, I assume from the Server Tools.
I've tried with and without SpeedyCGI
Running the command /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-tool.pl --init
Would still produce the MIME error
Your MIME::Base64 module is too old (2.12), please update to 3.00 or later.
I have installed a couple of versions of perl-MIME-Base64-3.05-1.i386.rpm
and even rebuilt one from src.rpm , still the same version error!
Looking at the installed perl I found it was installed into the location
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/
But there was also 2x other versions at:-
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/
Crudely copying the /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/ over the
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ now seems to have fixed(bodged) the problem.
I can initialize owm by running the openwebmail-tool.pl --init without a
problem.
Webmail seems to work all OK !!!
Conclusion
----------
1) The result seems to be the level of MIME::Base64, so over the next day of
two I'll get my head around rpmbuild again and rebuild a correct and working
version of perl-MIME-Base64-3.05-1.i386.rpm
2) Speedy-CGI seems to work OK.
3) I do have another issue, with the initial virtual site. This I'll raise
as another subject item.
Thanks for the ongoing help
Best Regards,
Howie.

According to the install notes for RHEL3 here:
http://www.openwebmail.org/openwebmail/download/redhat/rpm/packages/rhel3/
It appears I needed to include perl-CGI for CentOS3. This isn't required in
CentOS4. I've uploaded a newer version this morning.
