It's strange that it would be looking for the symbol  
Perl_sv_2uv_flags.  That symbol is not in Perl's C code until 5.9.   
It's not used directly by KS anywhere I can see -- KS uses the macros  
SvUV and such, which eventually result in calls to Perl_sv_2uv_flags  
under 5.9 and later, but are defined differently in 5.8.

This won't be easy for me to troubleshoot right now, because I don't  
have a functioning Windows box with developer tools on it at my  
disposal.  It's possible that a simple error was made when producing  
the PPM, especially since the PPM for 0.15 is known to work and the  
changes between KS 0.15 and 0.161 are not very substantial:

I wonder, however, if having those two Perls on the same box has  
something to do with it.

What happens under cygwin?

So KinoSearch passed all its tests under Camelpack, but something  
went screwy with Module::Build::PodParser?  Maybe try upgrading  
Module::Build and whatever Module::Build::PodParser depends on.
