I doubt that there is any useful information here~\cite{wikibook}.
All we know is limited, apart from knowing the answer we all know. Or do we?
Wombat and Koala have discovered some interesting things~\cite{wombat2016}.
Some people are too nosy. What can happen to them is described by Laura
Lion~\cite[9]{lion2010}.

ii biber 2.15-1 all Much-augmented BibTeX replacement
for BibLaTeX users
Do you have some perl modules updated to local version, or other changes
to perl modules or the perl interpreter?
I checked your versions as reported and I only see this one being a bit
older than mine, probably because it hasn't transition to testing by
now.
> ii libwww-perl 6.49-1
That leaves as explanation some environment variables, or other perl
overrides that change the behaviour.
