The biber developer has just announced that the next version of biber will require it because "they have the postfix dereference notion officially supported and I can get rid of the the horrible circumfix operator syntax".The RC1 for 5.24.1 is available now. If it's binary compatible with the 5.22 modules, I could update Perl without too much trouble, I think.Thanks. The INSTALL file says that it's not binary compatible and that XS modules will have to be recompiled. It looks like we have about 8 of those in the distro.
It looks like 5.26.0 is due to be released in a couple weeks. What are your plans for updating? Do you think it might happen in time for TeX Live 2017 (expected to be released in late May or early June)? If not, I'll probably have to temporarily go back to the old system of shipping biber as a packed Perl archive.
Thanks. Ken
