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?

Here are the relevant lines from the cygport log files. Firstly, the 
perl-Text-CSV_XS-1.07 test harness running under perl-5.14.2:

     All tests successful.
     Files=27, Tests=33858,  8 wallclock secs ( 2.23 usr  0.23 sys + 
5.05 cusr
     2.05 csys =  9.56 CPU)

And now the same running under perl-5.18.2:

     All tests successful.
     Files=27, Tests=33858, 68 wallclock secs ( 0.34 usr  0.30 sys + 
65.66 cusr
     2.03 csys = 68.34 CPU)

You can get the perl-Text-CSV_XS-1.07 source from CPAN (or your 
favourite Cygwin mirror) should you want to try this for yourself. The 
slowest test seemed to be 't/70_rt.t'.

Hope this is helpful,

Dave.
