#44 (comment) Basically, you need to install XCode because Command Line Tools no longer includes perl headers.

I have Xcode installed (iOS Catalina) and still got this error.

I also get this error with Xcode "installed" (Catalina) -- but there seem to be plenty of errors around XCode and the command line tools (which are "not in the repository" when I try to install them). Reinstalling XCode accomplished nothing. Apple sucks.
