I'm trying to install 5.18 with perlbrew like so: perlbrew install perl-5.18.0 --as padre-perl But I'm getting the strangest error message I've ever seen in the error logs (below)

I've already installed a few Perls, including 5.18 on this machine with PerlBrew. It's running Mac OS X 10.8.4,

gcc -v gives "gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00) installed by XCode 4.6.3."

cc -v gives "Apple clang version 4.1 (tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)"

(I'm not sure if it's using CC or GCC). I'm stumped. Any advice appreciated.

/usr/bin/awk: syntax error at source line 1
 context is
    { print $ >>>  } <<< 
/usr/bin/awk: illegal statement at source line 1
/usr/bin/awk: illegal statement at source line 1
<stdarg.h> NOT found.
 
/usr/bin/awk: syntax error at source line 1
 context is
    { print $ >>>  } <<< 
/usr/bin/awk: illegal statement at source line 1
/usr/bin/awk: illegal statement at source line 1
<varargs.h> NOT found, but that's ok (I hope).
 
 
*** WHOA THERE!!! ***
    Your C compiler "cc" doesn't seem to support stdarg or varargs!
    I'm giving up; maybe you can try again with a different compiler?
