For reference, here's a very late update on the macOS CI support: I 
added infrastructure for macOS CI and pushed it here: 
https://gitlab.perlang.org/perlang/perlang-macos-ci. I also started 
working on the necessary changes to get Perlang building and running on 
macOS; you can see the effort here if you are interested: 
https://gitlab.perlang.org/perlang/perlang/-/merge_requests/676

However, it turned out that there were some non-trivial problems to 
solve in this. CppSharp doesn't work OOTB on macos-arm64. I did some 
changes ([1], [2]) to help the project move towards working ARM/macOS 
support. There's still an open PR that I haven't completed, though: 
https://github.com/mono/CppSharp/pull/1960

So, the effort is more or less "abandoned" at the moment. Hopefully, 
I'll pick it up again sometime after the 0.8.0 release, but for now I'm 
focusing more on other things like improving the project web site.
