Cannot install File::HomeDir using cpan on MacOS Mojave for MacTex
I had the exact same problem and found a workaround:
- Install the current version of Perl using Homebrew:
brew install perl - Check if
xcode-select -ppoints to the Command Line Tools. If not, runxcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools - Install Mac::SystemDirectory using cpan (not cpanm):
cpan Mac::SystemDirectory
I have no experience with Perl and I have no idea why this worked, but it did :)
