Hi,

freshly updated cygwin with texlive installed. I can't even run "biber
--help". This is the output:

$ biber --help
Can't locate PAR.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

line 951.

This is due to the packaging problem discussed here:

I'll upload a fixed version of the texlive package soon. In the meantime, you can replace /usr/bin/biber.exe with the following file:

Note: The first time you run biber, it will seem to be very slow. That's because it is unpacking an archive that contains, in effect, all the perl dependencies.
