I've built perl-Text-CSV_XS-1.07 for perl-5.18.2 on 32-bit
Cygwin. Functionally, everything seems OK. However, the performance of
the test harness was quite poor. With perl-5.14.2, the
perl-Text-CSV_XS test harness rattled through in 8 seconds; with
perl-5.18.2 it was 68 seconds (same PC) - that's over 8x slower. Is
this something you were expecting?
Yes, if you set TEST_VERBOSE=1 you'll see that with the old Perl you've
skipped some 20000 tests with the message "Encode is too old for these
tests", which is no longer the case. Skipping these tests with the new
Perl gets the test times back to where they were, if not slightly
faster.
Thanks for explaining - I hadn't spotted that because the number of
tests reported was the same for both versions of perl. I'll do some more
testing and upload a test version in the next day or so.
Dave.
