G'day bigswifty00000,

Your core problem would appear to be:

"... incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64)) ..."

I also note that you're using a development version of Perl (v5.35.1). I'd suggest upgrading to the next stable version (v5.36.0).

You haven't shown any details of how you're installing manually or via cpan. If you post that information, we may be able to provide more help.

Check your version of cpan. You should get:

$ which cpan
/Users/kevin/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.35.1/bin/cpan
[download]

You also seem to have mismatched paths (which might be a problem, but I'm only guessing):

/Users/kevin/Downloads/...
/Users/kevin/perl5/perlbrew/...
[download]

Read the README file. This has a lot of information regarding required libraries, as well as troubleshooting tips. It also indicates that you should read README.OSX.

Hey Ken!

Thanks for the reply!

I see the error "... incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64)) ...", but not sure how to rectify it.

When running perlbrew install perl-5.36.0 got the following error: BELOW

sw_vers does shows: sw_vers ProductName: macOS ProductVersion: 12.6 BuildVersion: 21G115

I upgraded cpan: cpan -v /Users/kevin/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.35.1/bin/cpan script version 1.678, CPAN.pm version 2.34

not sure how to fix: /Users/kevin/Downloads/... /Users/kevin/perl5/perlbrew/... I used README.OSX as a guide...

You may give one or more space-separated answers, or "none" if appropr
+iate.
If you have a handcrafted Policy.sh file or a Policy.sh file generated
+ by a
previous run of Configure, you may specify it as well as or instead of
OS-specific hints.  If hints are provided for your OS, you should use 
+them:
although Perl can probably be built without hints on many platforms, u
+sing
hints often improve performance and may enable features that Configure
+ can't
set up on its own. If there are no hints that match your OS, specify "
+none";
DO NOT give a wrong version or a wrong OS.

Which of these apply, if any? [darwin]

*** Unexpected product version 12.6.
***
*** Try running sw_vers and see what its ProductVersion says.
