Perhaps you mean MIME::Tools?

perl -MCPAN -e 'install MIME::Tools'

Here's something else to try :

Grab uudeview from http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/UUDeview/ .  Compile
and install in your path.

In your .ubhrc file, add this line --

   DECODER = uudeview -i -a -m -p %d %f

This will do the decoding using uudeview instead of the internal
routines.  It's also decodes like ten times as fast -- seriously!
perl is great, but nothing beats C (or assembly) speed-wise for
bit-twiddling.

If you use ubh a lot, you'll probably want to use this for `real
work'.  It's *so* much faster ...

line 1?  Maybe you need to update News::Newsrc?

(Haven't tried perl 5.8.0 yet.)

.newsrc should be fine.

*.ubhcache should be fine unless you changed versions of ubh and the
format of it changed.
