Description Zhichu Chen 2022-06-09 10:54:16 UTC 
Just as the topic says, there should be a semicolon at the end of
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.36/Biber/Section.pm

I know I should provide a patch here, but maybe after my conference ends. This is really an emergency, so I just put a semicolon there by force.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run `bib xxx`
2. there you go
Actual Results:  
Can't modify undef operator in scalar assignment at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.36/Biber/Section.pm line 373, near "undef;"
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.36/Biber.pm line 24.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.36/Biber.pm line 24.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/biber line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/biber line 17.


Expected Results:  
INFO - This is Biber 2.16
...

I think it's pretty obvious.
