To install BioPerl on a macOS system, you can follow these steps:

• 1. Open the Terminal app on your macOS system.

  2. Install Homebrew if you haven't already installed it by entering the following command:

     /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

  3. Update Homebrew by entering the following command:

     brew update

  4. Install Perl by entering the following command:

     brew install perl

  5. Install cpanminus by entering the following command:

     brew install cpanminus

  6. Install BioPerl by entering the following command:

     cpanm BioPerl

  7. Verify the installation by running a BioPerl script or entering the following command to check the BioPerl version:

     perl -MBio::Perl -e 'print "$Bio::Perl::VERSION\n"'

  If there are any issues with the installation, you can try searching for solutions online or consulting the BioPerl documentation.

Installing in CONDA env

You can check using which perl - it should give you the perl that's located within your conda environment. In this case, it should install things into your conda-directory.

When you install packages via cpan it will also print the folder perl is installing the package into.

If you want to be extra-sure, you can also install most Perl packages via conda. Replace the ':' by '-', lower-case everything, and add 'perl-' to the beginning. In your case,

conda install -c bioconda perl-lwp-simple

this will definitely install into conda.

If using conda

conda create --name perlENV perl

conda activate perlENV

conda install -c bioconda perl-bundle-bioperl

conda install -c bioconda perl-bioperl
