"Too many errors" when starting clerk

[hgvhgv]

I'm on MacOS 10.12.6 and installed clerk as user following the instructions. I get the following errors when launching clerk (I'm planning on using via tmux-fzf, not rofi, which I haven't tried to install).

➜  ~ clerk.pl

/Users/hgv/bin/clerk.pl has too many errors.

Based on #2, it seems like at least someone got clerk working on macos/osx (though maybe that was the earlier, pre-perl version?). Maybe I need to install a different version of perl? I'm using the macos version, which is 5.18.2 (homebrew has a more recent version, but wanted to check here first as dealing with multiple versions can be a pain).

I was using clerk on arch before I recently switched back; would love to keep using it. Thanks!

perl 5.24 or later is needed.

Btw, without arguments clerk will always try to start the fzf interface. For rofi dialogs use one of the commands listed in -h

Got it running! Thanks so much. New version looks great!
