Research direction

Start by running brew install macvim and reproducing the failure with mvim -v on macOS Big Sur 11.4. Investigate why MacVim 8.2-171 references the missing /System/Library/Perl/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/libperl.dylib; done means the command launches without the dyld error.
