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

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

I still recommend Perlbrew. ☺️

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