Hi Will,
This doesn't really seem to be a PDL issue. And you don't say whether you've
been able to install on prior versions of macOS. But my PerlIO::Layers
installed from MacPorts just fine on macOS 10.12.x (Sierra), and it doesn't
look like MacPorts does anything special to make it work. And PerlIO::Layers
hasn't been updated in 4 years, so it's probably not a recent issue.
All of that suggests that it's something on your end. The PerlIO::Layers test
that fails relies on open3 and waitpid, which means child processes etc are at
work here. I notice you're trying to install with sudo. Are you installing
into a user or a system directory? If you do a 'man perlrun' you can get
descriptions of the PERL5LIB and PERL5OPT environment variables. The fact that
they are not set here is interesting, considering you say you set PERL5LIB in
your env. Is PERL5LIB exported? Have you sourced your ~/.profile (or
whatever) since setting that, either explicitly or by opening a new terminal
window?
To be completely pedantic, I would expect to see something like:
export PERL5LIB="/Users/carly/perl5"
in your ~/.profile file. (that assumes some things about what's in that
directory, but absent an explanation I am just making a guess.)
