in reply to Data::Alias fails in OSX Mountain Lion. Please help

Possibly related to RT#78928: Cannot install this module on MacOS 10.7. The module also is known to be incompatible with Perl 5.18, probably due to some assumptions it makes about how pad elements are arranged internally, which is undefined behavior where the implementation changed a little in 5.18. The Perl 5.18 incompatibility isn't a direct problem for your situation, but just another indicator that some maintenance is needed.

I'd say there's work to be done before it's stable enough for general consumption again.

      I think if you follow the discussions in the various RT entries for the module you'll find some patches to apply. After applying all that seem relevant, you might just get there. Good luck. :)
