Hi Ken

Many thanks for your tips and advice.

I wasn't aware of the system Perl issue, thank you for pointing that out.

I successfully installed Perlbrew, which sounds like a sensible way of doing things.

Unfortunately, installation of the latest stable version of Perl (v5.26.1) throws up the following error, when using the command $perlbrew install stable: 

or-strong -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/local/include -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PU

I couldn't find any information on this error, so if you have any pointers on how to get around this I would be very grateful!
