The error message appear to indicate that you ran the sample
commands incorrectly.  The text "shell>" represents your shell
prompt and is *not* part of the command.

Yes.  It is mentioned in the FAQ.

Unsure what you mean here.  Are you refering to Perl or MHonArc.

If you have a Perl 5 distribution installed, you should be
okay.  If you are unsure, you will need to seek help in the
various Perl forums since I have no direct experience with
running Perl under MacOS.

If there is a user subscribed to this list that is familiar
with using Perl under MacOS, maybe they can provide help.

The comments after each option state what the option means.  You
can run install.me without any options, and it will prompt you
for the information needed.  NOTE: I do not know if the use of
install.me under MacOS has been confirmed to work properly.  You
may need to follow the Manual Installation instructions.
