I've just updated my Mac to 11.0.1, and I had a perl script that ran successfully before doing that. When I run it now I get

"Can't locate Archive/Extract.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Archive::Extract module)"

I thought that during the upgrade Archive/Extract.pm had been removed, or a link to it had been broken, so I figured I would install it, but when I do that I get the below

I read some posts on possible solutions, and I tried removing the "02packages.details.txt.gz" and the "01mailrc.txt.gz", and rebuilding those files with "perl -MCPAN -e shell", but I still get the same error

Other posts where I should run Strawberry Perl instead, and leave the Perl that came with the OS alone, but I wanted to ask if anyone had any thoughts before I started down that path.

Thanks
