I don't have a Mac to test it on, but the applying the following patch to the Makefile.PL (patch -u Makefile.PL path/to/patchfile) should work for you. The patch adds the prereq of File::HomeDir, and only includes Win32::API if it's a MSWin32 machine

The procedure I would use (since I use cpanm) would be to put the patchfile in my home directory, then:

cpanm --look File::Repl
patch -u Makefile.PL ~/patchfile
make
make test
make install
[download]

If that works for you, you should file a bug report at rt://File-Repl, and email the author mentioned at File::Repl (there are bugs from years ago, so I'm not sure he's paying attention to the bug tracker), including the patch file. (Doing it through a repo would have been even better, but couldn't find it in a quick look at github.)
