[sf-perl] macOS 11.2.1 Perl 5.28.2 ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.34 'perl Makefile.PL' Segmentation fault: 11

[yary]

Even though local::lib is pure Perl, it can compile & locally install
modules that aren't pure perl. And you're using the system perl. So all
non-pure-Perl modules that local::lib installed with Perl 5.18 in MacOS X
will likely break in Perl 5.28 MacOS 11 (or be missing- if I
recall correctly there are subdirectories with the Perl version number in
it for XS modules, though I'm fuzzy on that)

Issues with upgrading the OS is why I prefer using perlbrew, it lets me
independently upgrade/switch OS and Perl without them stepping on each
other.

local::lib is a decent first step, though I ended up removing the
local::lib boilerplate from my shell ".profile" login script when I
switched to perlbrew, it was better to let perlbrew have cpan/cpanm install
in its directory scheme.
