Bug #48105 for Encode-Detect: cannot build with CPAN in CentOS

mysql.c:2281: warning: passing argument 4 of ‘Perl_newXS’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type Since DBD::SQLite broke the other day under mod_perl2/perl5.8.8 in CentOS 5 I have been fiddling with perl to get things working again, rebuilding lots of modules. I see the above error message all over the place in many modules. mysql.c from DBD::mysql is just an example. I cannot install Encode::Detect at all because of a similar error, see below. Could this be due to recent upgrades of ExtUtils::CBuilder or ExtUtils::ParseXS ? (Full build output attached.)
