Indeed, I was able to reproduce this problem on macOS 10.12 Sierra in a completely new prefix. The file is just not there. This file is a copy of the original file in /usr/bin in order to evade the SIP protection that prevents DYLD_* variables in the environment. Normally it should be copied if it does not exist or if the file in /usr/bin is newer. Somehow this seems to have failed for some reason that needs to be determined. > Also this won’t occur if I install perl5.28 port separately.

I would assume this step creates the copy of perl5.18 that was missing before. It should not matter which port you configure as long as it uses /usr/bin/perl5.18 in trace mode. > I tried checking main.log with debug enabled but it crashes possibly due > default logging being in stderr and causing interference with port > install.
