Re: Uninstall on macOS (13.5.1)

I think that script is fairly old - but as a quick next step, could you 
try running it with:

sudo perl ~/Desktop/uninstall-pandoc.pl

If pandoc was installed using root permissions (and the installer will 
ask for your password, which means it does), than it will need those 
permissions to remove them.

Alternately, just remove those files.
