The problem first appeared in the lead-up to the release of perl-5.22.0, with the release of a new mingw runtime.

Baiscally, some builds of MinGW provide an implementation of mkstemp() and some don't.
If you're using a MinGW compiler that implements mkstemp(), then you need to remove the implementation provided by win32.h and win32.c.
But it your MinGW compiler does not provide a mkstemp() implementation, then you can just leave things as they are.

Obviously, the compiler that *built* your perl did not implement mkstemp(), whereas the compiler that you're using *does* implement mkstemp().
One alternative is to replace your compiler with one that doesn't implement mkstemp().
Another alternative is to remove the mkstemp() implementation from C:/Perl/lib/CORE/win32.h and C:/Perl/lib/CORE/win32.c. But backup the original versions of those 2 files in case something goes awry.

If you want to stay with your present compiler, then apply these win32.h and win32.c patches and you should be right.
That patch also specifies an amendment to config_H.gc, but you can ignore that part.

Oh !! ... and another alternative is to upgrade your perl to 5.22.0 (as that version should automatically handle it for you)

Cheers,
Rob
