I am running on a 2019 Macbook Pro with Ventura 13.1. I have Brew and Cpan installed. I also have Xcode and Xquartz installed and running. I successfully installed Perl 5v36 and ran a quick test. Now I need to install Perl/Tk. It failed and hung. Three (3) forked "perl" processes were left running with one pegging my cpu at 100%. Here is the output (captured by script), Beginning and End only. I have the full output, but no way to attach it here.

I have searched Perlmonks and found some with the same problem, but no solution, unless I'm missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Terry
