The latest version of Email::MIME has its version number stored as part of the package statement as in

package Email::MIME 1.953;

This isn't detected anymore by configure and therefore flagged as an error. In addition the current implementation of Foswiki::Condigure::Dependency::extractModuleVersion was using a plain eval. Better use Safe wherever possible to execute foreign code in a secure way.

Unfortunately we are not able to use version within a Safe compartment. So we have to back off to a normal eval.
