The Solution Use the MacOS installer command to deploy the needed files:
|
1 2 3 4 |
sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target / installer: Package name is macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14 installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install was successful. |
The, rerunning the cpan install works:

erics, February 4th, 2019 Use the ssh-keygen command on a computer to which you’ve downloaded your private key .pem file; for example: First, ensure permissions will allow ssh-keygen to work: chmod 600 /path/to/the/file/your-key-pair.pem Then generate an RSA public key: ssh-keygen -y -f /path/to/the/file/your-key-pair.pem > your-key-pair.pub
