% perlbrew install perl-5.16.2
Fetching perl 5.16.2 as /Users/katsunori.kawaguchi/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.16.2.tar.bz2
Installing /Users/katsunori.kawaguchi/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.16.2 into ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.2

This could take a while. You can run the following command on another shell to track the status:

  tail -f ~/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.16.2.log

Installation process failed. To spot any issues, check

  /Users/katsunori.kawaguchi/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.16.2.log

If some perl tests failed and you still want install this distribution anyway,
do:

  (cd /Users/katsunori.kawaguchi/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.16.2; make install)

You might also want to try upgrading patchperl before trying again:

  perlbrew install-patchperl

Generally, if you need to install a perl distribution known to have minor test
failures, do one of these command to avoid seeing this message

  perlbrew --notest install perl-5.16.2
  perlbrew --force install perl-5.16.2

OS標準のperlのMoudle::Metadataを更新したら解決した。

$ sudo cpan install Module::Metadata

In a whim, (meta)patch perlpatch's fatpacked Module::Metadata to require v0.77 instead of 0.87:

This did the trick for me.

I experienced same error and it was also fixed by the patch

Wow, good catch. My problem was solved using hamakn's method.
