Thanks Rob and Chris. The solution was rather embarrassing - I had installed MinGW previously and since Strawberry Perl installs its own version, I had to change the order in the PATH env. That allowed the installation to complete properly. It wasn't until Rob indicated to try the local build that I started looking at the make section a little more closely as there was no error from it. I think I will go back to x64, now that I know what probably caused the error installing Text::CSV_XS ( no wonder I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't build - I was looking in the wrong place...)
