Installation of RT3 on Redhat 7.3 : missing MIME::Entity

Hi all.

I try to install RT3 on my server but I get this error when I try to
install the RT-dependencies :

MIME::Entity 5.108...MISSING

Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

Running install for module MIME::Entity

The module MIME::Entity isn’t available on CPAN.

Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is
temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out
more about the status. Try ‘i MIME::Entity’.

the command line is :
perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-postgres --with-modperl1 --install

Did anybody have the same error ?
Where can I find this package ?

Perhaps my local database of CPAN is too old, but I don’t know how to
update it. All suggestions are welcomed.

Best regards,
Laurent

Here is the result of that command :
[root@new queue]# echo ‘i MIME::Entity’ | perl -MCPAN -e shell

I mailed the author of that package yesterday but get no answer for the
moment.

I have the same problem yesterday when installing on RH 9.

Goto :
http://www.cpan.org/authors/Eryq/

download and install the MIME-tools package, it has the MIME::Entity.
