I have a base64 command here, can't reacll its provenance at the moment.

But why do you need to do this?
If it's to mail the JPEG, then mutt can do this, and scomail probably can
too.

When I ran it , it complained about the command *Decoder*, maybe my perl
doesn't have all the libraries..

I'll try this after upgrading my perl..

Thanks

base64 -d

there isn't a man-page, but....

Yeah, you'll need some modules from cpan.
You can decode as well:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use MIME:ecoder;
$decoder = new MIME:ecoder 'base64' or die "unsupported";
$decoder->decode(\*STDIN, \*STDOUT);
