Hi JD,

How are you installing the distribution?

Note that you shouldn't install or change anything with your built-in Perl installation.

I'm not familiar with Mac, but many folks here are who can provide guidance. I'd recommend waiting for them to respond (ahem, Nick, red phone is ringing...) before trying anything else and possibly rendering your computer useless.

In Unix land, we use Perlbrew, on Windows, berrybrew to separate our system Perl installations from our userland ones. I'm not confident in advising whether Perlbrew should be used on your OS or not, so since you've taken a couple of hours already, I'd wait to see what our MacOS Monks say.
