Can't install Alien-Libxml2 on Mac OS Ventura

[tyrin]

Can't install on macos Ventura.
I need to install Alien::Libxml2 so I can install XML::LibXML. It fails
I'm adding my comments with a ------------ so it's clear it's commentary

------------perlbrew can't find it at all as you can see

(base) tavery-ltm3phu:code tavery$ cpanm Alien::LibXML2
! Finding Alien::LibXML2 on cpanmetadb failed.
! Finding Alien::LibXML2 () on mirror http://www.cpan.org failed.
! Couldn't find module or a distribution Alien::LibXML2
------------I tried using cpan to install the developer version
(base) tavery-ltm3phu:code tavery$ cpan install PLICEASE/Alien-Libxml2-0.19.tar.gz

The current configuration of allow_installing_outdated_dists is 'ask/no', but for this option we would need 'CPAN::DistnameInfo' installed. Please install 'CPAN::DistnameInfo' as soon as possible. As long as we are not equipped with 'CPAN::DistnameInfo' this option does not take effect

------------It looks like it's picking up the right make file from perl brew and the right place where the module is installed, so I'm really confused about why the tests are failing, or at least some of them. The one thing is that it looks like it's using the 2-0.19 version of Alien-Libxml, instead of the dev version, which was 2.9.14. maybe this has to do with the Apple installed version of perl?
------------I tried installing CPAN::DistnameInfo and rerunning, as suggested. But it still didn't work.

[plicease]

I am not familiar with Anaconda but another user was able to work through this by using the MacPorts version of libxml2 instead. CI for this module uses MacBrew, so I believe that should work too.

See #36

Another option is to force a share install by setting ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE=share environment variable when you are installing Alien::Libxml2.
