Hi monks,

In order to learn Python (to compare against Perl) I wrote a nifty scientific calculator with tkinter widgets (modeled after my Sharp; lacks only calculus functions and converters; TODOs). I then attempted to install Perl Tk, Tk-804.036, with cpanm into my private perlbrew perl 5.30.2, to port the calculator to Perl/Tk and bummer, my compilation segmentation faults. My machine is Apple laptop running macOS 10.13.6 with clang Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.44.4). The build log (man, so many C warnings, mostly pointer type mismatches and faulty casts, :-( ) proclaims: 

"/Users/carly/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/bin/perl" "-I../t" "-MT
+kTest" "-e" "checked_test_harness('../xt', 0, '../blib/lib', '../blib
+/arch')" t/*.t
make[1]: *** [test_dynamic] Segmentation fault: 11
make: *** [subdirs-test_dynamic] Error 2
-> FAIL Installing Tk failed.

Any suggestions, and thanks in advance?
