Subject:  compile failures on multiple OSes with perl-5.8.8
With our perl-5.8.8 (no threads, shared libperl, built with gcc-4.1.2)
the latest version of Verilog-Perl (3.212) shows the following compile
problem:

The Perl installation is updated to all the latest versions from CPAN -
so it could be a side-effect of some ExtUtils::* or Devel::* updates - I
tried the previous 3.211 and that shows the same issue; here is what I
installed recently (i.e., after Verilog-Perl-3.211):

DBD::mysql 4.012

Text::Diff 1.37
SystemC::Netlist 1.330
DateTime::TimeZone 0.93
HTTP::Proxy 0.24
prefork 1.04
Template 2.22

I suppose it is probably the ExtUtils::CBuilder and/or ExtUtils::ParseXS
which cause the issues. Please feel free to reassign this ticket if the
root cause is there.

Many thanks and keep up the good work,

Marek

Grrr, the Perl_newXS prototype is missing a const, but it's too late to
change the perl internals, so please try the below patch. You'll need
to "make clean" then start from scratch.

BTW if you have additional bugs, please use

Thank you for the patch - I had to edit it a bit, and with the script
below the build and all tests pass OK.
Cheers,

Thanks for your work on the fix.

I've committed this to git, and it will be in the next release; 3.213.
If you need it on CPAN immediately let me know.

The git version missed one line of the new patch, sorry about that.

Please download it from git and insure it's ok for the next release, thanks.
