Re^2: New release of Text::CSV_XS won't build on Windows, prob a gcc input error (CygwinPerl)

Hi, all. I just installed the CPAN module XS::Parse::Sublike using my system CygwinPerl and the build and test and install worked just as it ought to, and as it has before, many times, with XS (C-extension) modules being added on my system. The only difference I see with Text::CSV_XS is that it requires a call to g++ because C++ code is being used.

I understand the point you are making, pryrt, and I appreciate the advice. I will try to provide full information about my system in the future. I don't want to waste the monks' time or frustrate anyone.

You don't need to manually install Text::CSV_XS version 1.61 — just update Cygwin.

As I said last week, I typically update Cygwin weekly (usually on a Friday). Here's a reminder of the code I posted then:

$ /usr/bin/perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
    use Text::CSV_XS;
    say "Perl version: $^V";
    say "Perl location: $^X";
    say "Text::CSV_XS version: $Text::CSV_XS::VERSION";
    say "Text::CSV_XS location: $INC{q{Text/CSV_XS.pm}}";
'
Perl version: v5.40.2
Perl location: /usr/bin/perl
Text::CSV_XS version: 1.60
Text::CSV_XS location: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.40/x86_64-cygwin-t
+hreads/Text/CSV_XS.pm
[download]

When I updated Cygwin last Friday (i.e. 3 days ago) I noticed (amongst other changes) that Text::CSV_XS was updated to version 1.61 — here's what I get when I run the same code today:

$ /usr/bin/perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
    use Text::CSV_XS;
    say "Perl version: $^V";
    say "Perl location: $^X";
    say "Text::CSV_XS version: $Text::CSV_XS::VERSION";
    say "Text::CSV_XS location: $INC{q{Text/CSV_XS.pm}}";
'
Perl version: v5.40.3
Perl location: /usr/bin/perl
Text::CSV_XS version: 1.61
Text::CSV_XS location: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.40/x86_64-cygwin-t
+hreads/Text/CSV_XS.pm
[download]

I still recommend Perlbrew. ☺️

Update: The second block of code had the start of the command twice; probably a copy-paste error; fixed.
