Reini, This is a followup to http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-06/msg00152.html Are you planning a perl update in the near future? I'm starting to work on TeX Live 2014, and it would be nice to be able to include the current version of biber (and biblatex). With perl-5.14, I have to ship biber-1.5. Upstream biber is now three releases later, at 1.8. Thanks. Ken
