perlbrew install perl-5.32.1

fails on macOS Big Sur (11.3.1)

The end of the log file includes this:

Test Summary Report

Result: FAIL
make: *** [test_harness] Error 1
##### Brew Failed #####

It also fails in the same way when I try to install perl versions 5.32.0 and 5.30.3

Any clues as to why the perl installation is failing? And how to fix it?

  • Are you trying to instal a local copy, or in the system? Likely unless you install a local copy in a different folder, it's a no go. The MacOS depends upon perl with the system install. Try installing a local copy in your home dir. – Misfit May 20 '21 at 03:34

    As I understand it, perlbrew installs a local copy in ~/perl5/perlbrew. That's where this failed installation went anyway. – jared May 20 '21 at 04:52

    https://stackoverflow.com/a/62439696/223226 looks identical. – mpapec May 20 '21 at 05:55
  • Can you try update `patchperl` like [this](https://stackoverflow.com/q/65332078/2173773) and then retry the install? – Håkon Hægland May 20 '21 at 07:44
