If you check down in the "EXAMPLES" section of "perldoc MIME::Base64"
it says you should just read and encode using a multiple of 57 bytes
to completely fill up a single base64 line:

          use MIME::Base64 qw(encode_base64);

          open(FILE, "/var/log/wtmp") or die "$!";
          while (read(FILE, $buf, 60*57)) {
              print encode_base64($buf);
          }
