Re^4: perl built with -DDEBUGGING causes "failed to extend arg stack" error with XS modules

[parv]

Yes, I had built perl from source with debugging via Potrs (set DEBUG option for the port either in /etc/make.conf or via "dialog" brought up with make config in the port directory); at the end of "perl -V" ...

I had rebuilt DateTime again (from source, with perl with debugging) in case I might not have removed all of its dependencies. No difference.

I will try later to build perl & DateTime outside of Ports, but does not look like that would help any given the evidence so far.

It's not exactly the same as what you are doing, but I've just built this -DDEBUGGING perl-5.34.0 on my FreeBSD-12.0 system:

The Configure args that I specified (config_args) are as shown in that output. Having tested and installed that perl, I prepended its location to $PATH and ran cpan -i DateTime
That ran successfully, and I can find no problem in running DateTime-1.54:

$ perl -MDateTime -wle 'print $DateTime::VERSION;'
1.54
