PAR::Packer Fail install Perlbrew

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am on macOS (HighSierra) using Perlbrew. I have problems to install PAR::Packer, as it fails with this error:

--> Working on PAR::Packer

I have on the same machine several Perl installation. Never had a problem to install this module. However, I noticed that if I use

perlbrew available

I get a rather short list of cperl. This was not the case until a couple of months ago, where I got a list of perl. I have PAR::Packer installed with perl-5.24.4, however on both cperl-5.27.2 and cperl-5.26.2 it fails with me message above. Any idea?

I found the solution myself. There must be something wrong with Perlbrew at the moment, to see the complete list of Perl available it is possible to use `perlbrew available --all` in this way also normal Perl (not only cperl) are shown. With a normal Perl installation, the problem encountered in my post is no there (as expected).	[reply] [d/l]
