Thank you for the contribution!

The encoding is already done with encode_base64url(). Your change is for
the MAC provided via the Proxmox API, so it doesn't necessarily need to
adhere to the RFC. If it's a backwards-compatible change, it can still
be worth it of course.

If I'm not missing something, PMG doesn't use this implementation but a
Rust-based one, see:

Did you intend to send this patch to pve-devel instead, which does use
this Perl module?
