Update: Uninstalling and reinstalling Perl back over the same directory seems to have fixed whatever was the problem whilst leaving all (of those I've tried) my installed packages still working.

My previously working Inline::C setup has suddenly started failing with: 

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use Inline C => Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1;
use Inline C => <<'END_C',  NAME => 'test', CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD => 0;

SV *test( SV *sv ( {
    printf( "test %s\n", SvPVX( sv ) );
    return sv;
}

END_C

print test( 'test' );

As you can see, I've tried re-installing Inline::C to no avail.

Any thoughts what might have caused it to start failing or how to corrected it?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
