Ok, well I though I was going along pretty well:

Then I got to bliako's suggestion:

mymac@Merrills-Mac-mini Documents % brew analytics off
mymac@Merrills-Mac-mini Documents %
[download]

Then I start to get cpanm cranking away:

Whoa, wipeout. Ideas?

I wonder if the shebang needs changed from this particular script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use 5.011;
use lib "template_stuff";
use HTML1;
use Path::Tiny;
use utf8;
use Encode;
use open OUT => ':encoding(UTF-8)', ':std';
