Running perl worked.  It printed "test" as it was supposed to do.  Try running exiftool using perl as I suggested -- this should work too.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

What's that reference to grotty in the first screen shot?

Good catch.  That's some sort of text formatter.

So it is probably just the help text that isn't displayed.  ExifTool could be working just fine.

Try running this command:  exiftool -ver

If that works, then ExifTool will likely work just fine -- you just won't be able to display the built-in help.

My terminal is showing "bash" on the bar at the top.  When I run exiftool, this momentarily changes to "perl5.18", then "grotty", then "less".
