You're welcome. Many thanks to you and the other contributors.

No rush - I can deal with them as they get fixed.

There's another variant of that failure just cropped up:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/ba327e3a-7235-1014-b072-7ddc5cf4dae8
I don't recall having seen that one before. (The "require 
'./t/08taint_1.p';" fails.)

That one's a bit of an odd smoker - x64 ActivePerl (built using Platform 
SDK) being used with mingw64 gcc-4.5.4 compiler.
I doubt that it's an Inline::C bug - more likely something wrong with the 
hacking of some flag(s).
I'd like to see a "-s" in its $Config{optimize} and I'd like to see 
$Config{ivtype} set to "long long" instead of "__int64".
I seem to recall experiencing problems in relation to both of those (in the 
past) .... though I can't really see why either *should* pose any problems.
It would certainly be nice to understand what's going wrong there.

What needs doing as regards that ?
(I can then immediately fix that in readiness for next release.)

Cheers,
