Progress, but no cigar, yet...
brew link --force readline
I downloaded the latest library and then attempted to reinstall
Term::ReadLine::Gnu, with the following error in the build log:
This part seems correct:
Found `/usr/lib/libtermcap.dylib'.
cc -I/usr/local/opt/readline/include -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN
-mmacosx-version-min=10.13 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector

-L/opt/local/lib -lreadline -ltermcap
<<<It seems that you have the GNU Readline Library version 7.0.>>>
This part seems incorrect:
Your terminal 'TERM=xterm-256color' does not support enough function.
Check if your environment variable 'TERM' is set correctly.
I never set TERM explicitly so I don't know what that module is expecting
or whether my Mac has the right stuff. I do have the latest XQuartz,
2.7.11, installed.
