THANKS for reporting the issue!

• I don't have a macOS box to test, but I'm pretty sure it's a more general STAR / "Rakudo modules" problem... old (unmaintained, not "GIT tag'ed") modules and, even worse, all their dependencies...
• I'll try to figure out how to continue with the STAR modules... short and long term...

I am completely out of my depth here and I have little idea if this is helpful, but in case this is a dependency issue I'll mention that I have experienced progress since switching to nix. I wonder if their fundamentally new approach to resolving dependencies could be helpful here.

both Star releases, the "Windows" and also the "Bash Script" UX tools, use ZEF to install the Star modules by now. ZEF also handles all the dependencies... so this should be solved by ZEF per default in addition, the majority of the Star modules have (enforced) "GIT tags", which helps to ensure reproducible builds...
