biblatex-biber @0.9.9_0+perl5_14 Perl version problem

[schmidt@…]

Running biber results in the error:

Perl v5.14.0 required--this is only v5.12.4, stopped at /opt/local/bin/biber line 6.

But I have installed perl5+perl5_14 and perl5.14. The port installed command gives the versions

perl5 @5.12.4_0+perl5_14 (active)
perl5.14 @5.14.2_1 (active)

And if I type perl -v I get the expected version:

This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2)

Please do not Cc openmaintainer since it does not go to anyone.

biber should use whichever version of perl was selected when it was installed, either 5.14 or 5.16, so it shouldn't matter what version /opt/local/bin/perl is.

Can you please provide the output of port -v installed biblatex-biber and head -1 /opt/local/bin/biber?

Replying to dports@…:

Can you please provide the output of port -v installed biblatex-biber and head -1 /opt/local/bin/biber?

The following ports are currently installed:
  biblatex-biber @0.9.9_0+perl5_14 (active) platform='darwin 11' archs='noarch'

#!/opt/local/bin/perl5.12

[dports@…]

Interesting. The binary package does seem to be built that way, which is obviously incorrect. It builds correctly for me.

I'll look into what's going on, but as a workaround, you might try rebuilding it from source: port -ns upgrade --force biblatex-biber

The workaround works perfectly. It is #!/opt/local/bin/perl5.14 now and biber does its job. Thank you!

Fixed in r96144.
