I found this helpful article. Should I follow it to create bash profile?
MY MAC OSX BASH PROFILE
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$ open -a BBEdit.app ~./bashrc
The file /Users/jimunderwood/~./bashrc does not exist.
The Domain::PublicSuffix module you have installed before, is it located here? That is, do you have this folder?
~/perl5/lib/perl5/Domain/PublicSuffix
!? If you don't have a .bash_profile and don't have a .bashrc, where is your bash config stored? I mean your bash aliases and all that stuff?
I'm just seeing you have searched at the wrong path. It is ~/.bashrc, not /Users/jimunderwood/~./bashrc
How would I search differently from this:
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$ open -a BBEdit.app .bash_profile
The file /Users/jimunderwood/.bash_profile does not exist.
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$ open -a BBEdit.app ~./bashrc
The file /Users/jimunderwood/~./bashrc does not exist.
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$ open -a BBEdit.app ~/.bashrc
The file /Users/jimunderwood/.bashrc does not exist.
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$ cd ~/
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$ open -a BBEdit.app .bashrc
The file /Users/jimunderwood/.bashrc does not exist.
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$
Isn't ~/ the same as my home dir, which is jimunderwood$ ?
Yes. But above you have written The file /Users/jimunderwood/~./bashrc does not exist. I was referring to that.
Have you found the module in this location?
Well, if the modules arenât there, they should be in /usr/local/Cellar/perl/5.26.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.0.
So I propose:
In KM make a variable named ENV_PERL5LIB and paste this into it:
/Users/jimunderwood/perl5/lib/perl5:/usr/local/Cellar/perl/5.26.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.0
Check if you have the same perl version as in the path (5.26.0).
If perl (run from within KM) finds its modules now, but you get a weird dyld: error, then in the script replace the
#!/usr/bin/env perl
with
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
OK, I DO have that folder, but I can't find "PublicSuffix" folder anywhere on my mac.
But you did install the Domain::PublicSuffix module? (cpanm Domain::PublicSuffix)
If not then type
cpanm Domain::PublicSuffix
in the Terminal. (Assuming you have installed cpanm.)
If the module is already installed youâll get a message saying that is up to date.
To make it clear:
cpanm and cpan are âpackage managersâ for CPAN (the perl module archive).
Domain::PublicSuffix is a module (there are thousands of different modules)
cpanm is easier to use than cpan, so the point of installing cpanm was to make it easier for you to install modules, in our case the Domain::PublicSuffix module.
KM (and the Terminal) need to know the location of the modules. But this depends on how you have installed perl, more precisely, if you have installed it with the locallib option or not (this was the instruction that popped up during the install with Homebrew).
So, the situation is, that I donât know where your modules are located. But with both alternative paths in the ENV_PERL5LIB variable it should work.
No. You didn't tell me to. 
You just said:
But no problem. I'll try that now. . .
OK, it seems to have installed OK:

Now I'll try my KM macro.
Failed again with same error.

Hmmm, Terminal reports a different Perl ver than the above km error.
From Terminal:
iMac-27-JMU:~ jimunderwood$ perl -v
This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
My KM Macro is one simple Action:
I think I see the problem. In your script you have:
use 5.010;
yet I have Ver 5.26.
Should I change the use 5.010;, or just remove it?
Well, when I use use 5.26.0;, I get:
Perl v5.26.0 required--this is only v5.18.2, stopped at /var/folders/hb/6xgg0y8j4g530m81rd1f9mpc0000gn/T/Keyboard-Maestro-Script-B863094A-49FB-49F9-9DBE-217ED2E186B9 line 3.

I must have the wrong path or something in the KM Shell Script.
Leave it.
Please read my last post. I think we have posted at the same time.
If KM reports a perl version 5.18 then your ENV_PATH variable (in KM) does not include the Homebrew install path.
In that case change the shebang line as said here.
The use 5.010 only tells the minimum required version. And both, 5.26 and 5.18, are higher, so it doesnât matter. But make sure KM is using the 5.26 version (the one installed via Homebrew.) Otherwise you are likely to get additional problems with the modules path.
OK, many thanks, Tom. That worked!!! 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
. . .
Thanks for putting up with me. I feel really bad being such an idiot user.
Having said that, I don't think this solution is a good solution for the general user domain, especially if they, like me, have very limited experience with Shell Scripting. OTOH, maybe it is just me.
Unless, there is a way to package this entire thing into a simple install . . .
I'm worn out on this topic, but if I have time later I may look at using JavaScript and/or cURL to get the data and perform the extraction.
But for now, it is well past my martini-time. 
Thanks again, my friend.
No, I didn't intend this solution for the OP of this thread.
Yes, there is. Basically you can distribute any module with your script. (You just have to add 2 lines in the script with the location of the module.) I've done this with LB actions that include a perl script and need modules. With LB this is easy, since you can just include all resources inside the action bundle.
With KM it's not so easy because a macro file cannot include resources und you would have to tell the user where to put exactly the other files. See this thread

Wow. Tom. You guys really are cool! Thanks.
I actually made use of document.domain JS, and [^.]+.[^.]+$ to trim server names to domain name. The JS part actually saved me my additional step of copying URL to clipboard.
I actually designed a macro that shows age in format like 2 years, 3 months, and 4 days old. It's inflating the actual age by 4-5 days for old domains. I think this is due to Keyboard Maestro rounds off values especially in the line that says zzzAgeDaysTemp MOD 30.5
