Can not compile MIME-Base64-2.10

Trying to compile MIME-Base64-2.10 on Redhat Linux 5.2 running perl rpm perl-5.004m7-1.i386.rpm fails but on perl-5.004m4-1.i386.rpm (one included in original install from ftp site) it works fine. Error reported during make: [root@matthew MIME-Base64-2.10]# perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for MIME::Base64 [root@matthew MIME-Base64-2.10]# make mkdir ./blib mkdir ./blib/lib mkdir ./blib/lib/MIME mkdir ./blib/arch mkdir ./blib/arch/auto mkdir ./blib/arch/auto/MIME mkdir ./blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64 mkdir ./blib/lib/auto mkdir ./blib/lib/auto/MIME mkdir ./blib/lib/auto/MIME/Base64 mkdir ./blib/man3 cp Base64.pm ./blib/lib/MIME/Base64.pm cp QuotedPrint.pm ./blib/lib/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm /usr/local/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00405 -I/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/lib/perl5/ExtUtils/typemap Base64.xs >Base64.tc && mv Base64.tc Base64.c cc -c -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL -O2 -DVERSION=\"2.10\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.10\" -fpic -I/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00405/CORE Base64.c Base64.xs: In function `XS_MIME__Base64_decode_base64': Base64.xs:183: `PL_dowarn' undeclared (first use this function) Base64.xs:183: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once Base64.xs:183: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [Base64.o] Error 1
I obtained the latest release of the module MIME-Base64-2.11 from the cpan.org ftp site and compiled successfully on a stock 5.2 system so I would suggest obtaing the newer version since there seems to be an error in 2.10.
