you can run the agent directly for its source directory with --devlib

After upgrading perl to 5.34.0 the problem still persists

[Christian1und0]

Upgrading to MacOS 11.6.2 solved the problem, so it looks like the problem was in MacOS 10.15.6 and earlier.

{edit} So it turned out the problem was in LWP::UserAgent https://github.com/libwww-perl/libwww-perl/pull/378

[Christian1und0]

I could not find any way to update LWP::UserAgent on older Mac OS like Catalina. Therefore it looks like the MacOS agent only runs on MacOS 11.6.2 (Big Sur) or higher

Hi @Christian1und0,

Agent version 2.8.0 is the last release compatible with Catalina and lower. Version 2.9+ supports both Big Sur and Monterey. These compatibilities can be found on the release notes for each version of the agent.
