When I tried "brew install libgd" it said gd 2.2.5 is already installed and up-to-date. When I tried cpan install GD, it said CPAN.pm requires configuration and I just used all the default. However, it said that I do not have write permission for Perl library directories. So I continued with the default "local::lib" and it seems everything is okay and said GD is up to date (2.71).

So I rerun the perl script and received the same error. One thing that I noticed is that the "/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin...." is still showing the original perl version 5.18. I have updated to the latest Perl version 5.26 and even 5.28. They were sitting in the system but not being updated. I saw the .profile and .bashrc thing but unsure what to do with it (again my ignorance).

By the way, is there a safe way to remove all perl and have a complete clean install?

EDIT1: I did a little comparison: I can find the PD folder and PD.pm Image.pm on the working imac, but not on the macbook. Again, I suspected that the GD is not properly installed.

EDIT2: I think that I am getting very close to solve the problem. I just tried "cpanm -f GD" and although failed but I did find the PD folder and the Image.pm via file search. Please note that this may not be the result of "cpanm -f GD" but could be the macports "sudo port install p5.26-gd" command I just used today. The file is located in "/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26/darwin-thread-multi-2level/GD/Image.pm." So I ran the perl script. Although the error message is still there, but the error message is "not found: No such file or directory at /Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level/GD/Image.pm line 64."

When I typed "perl -v" it shows perl 5.18, not 5.26, which was installed but never activated. So perhaps the final question will be "how to switch from 5.18 perl to 5.26?"

EDIT3: here is the craziest thing that will probably drive all newbies nut, hahaha... I just did another search and the Image.pm and the PD folder do exist inside the "/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level/GD/Image.pm". So what happened in between of all the trials and errors? I read an earlier post about what a pain it is with mac. Now I am kind of stuck. The only other thing is the message whenever I launched the terminal app on my macbook: "-bash /Users/linus/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc: No such file or directory" This was done probably when I was trying to activate the perl 5.28 or 5.26.
