Unable to build Perl module Net::MAC::Vendor

I am unable to build Net::MAC::Vendor on a Mac w/ High Sierra. I am relatively new to Perl but have built modules in the past. The error appears to be:

Failed fetching [https://services13.ieee.org/RST/standards-ra-web/rest/assignments/download/?registry=MA-L&format=html&text=14-10-9F] HTTP status []

Can someone help, thanks

I'm also still on High Sierra (10.13.6), on an ancient-but-still-running Mac Mini mid-2010. Using the built-in /usr/bin/perl (v5.18.2), running install Net::MAC::Vendor inside the CPAN shell gave me the same error. Running force install Net::MAC::Vendor worked, in that the module was installed.

A simple perl -MNet::MAC::Vendor -e "print 'hi'" works, so it looks like Perl can at least load that library, not really sure how to test that it works for real. But, at least this will let you install it and try it.
