irssi / adv_windowlist: error under -current
 
I have just loaded the latest irssi update under -current:

Code:
andrew@illium~$ irssi --version
irssi 1.0.5 (20171020 1715)
andrew@illium~$
I have encountered an issue when I attempt to run adv_windowlist with irssi with a 'charwidth.c' error:

Code:
CharWidth.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched
(got handshake key 0xdb80080, needed 0xde00080)
I have reinstalled the module Text-CharWidth-0.04 with no change. irssi without adv_windowlist functions as expected.

Are others finding this problem?

I don't use that irssi function but you definitely should rebuild everything perl-related not already shipped with Slackware after the perl update that happened in current, either if you installed it by package or by CPAN.

I have revisited this issue and finally solved it! After examining my installed perl modules as Ponce suggested I went a little nuclear and removed all user installed Perl modules except the Charwidth module (which I had recompiled) and just before I was about to remove Perl itself and try from scratch I had a look with pkgtool and there was the issue: I had one package of the Chardwidth module in upper case and one with lower case.

No idea how I did this foolish thing but all is now well :).
