For this reason the built-in 5.26.1 perl interpreter was retained, but the 5.26.3 support files from MacPorts were used. Reinstalling the (unstripped) `biber' binary solved the issue. Werner

Try installing the PAR port before texlive and see if that pulls the right dependency. The version requirement is so close you could probably get away by relaxing the requirement at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26/PAR.pm line 7 to just 5.26 Best, Aklex

Ryan, thanks for your help. > If you really want to use perl 5.26, then verify that [...] All of this is exactly as you describe. Since the `biber' program from TeXLive 2018 works I suspect a problem with the new binary from TeXLive 2019, which I will report upstream. Werner

Which other port depends on which variant of the perl5 port you have installed. If you really want to use perl 5.26, then verify that port installed perl5 prints The following ports are currently installed: perl5 @5.26.1_0+perl5_26 (active) and that which perl prints /opt/local/bin/perl and that /opt/local/bin/perl -v prints This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 3 (v5.26.3) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level Copyright 1987-2018, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

Note that perl5.28 is available and is the default perl in MacPorts at this time. perl5.30 is also available in MacPorts but may not quite be ready yet; for example, there is no perl5_30 variant of the perl5 port yet.
