Comment (by nortcele):

 The problem comes from a malfunction of MacPorts. Usually I only change
 the Perl version of AMC when the default version of MacPorts changes.


 The Perl version of AMC has been changed from Perl5.28 to Perl5.30 while
 the default Perl version has remained at 5.28. So when running the AMC
 installation some of the Perl modules are installed in the Perl5.28
 hierarchy and some in the Perl5.30 hierarchy. Look at the perl modules
 installed for a failed AMC installation in https://github.com/macports
 /macports-ports/runs/3876718372?check_suite_focus=true (Build changed
 subports).


 One way around this problem is to install Perl5.30 first as the default
 version with the command "sudo port install perl5 +perl5_30". And then
 continue with the AMC installation. This way all the Perl modules are
 installed in the right place and AMC works correctly. See installation
 instructions at https://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/projects/auto-
 multiple-choice/wiki/Installing_AMC_with_MacPorts_on_macOS.


 I may revert perl version of AMC to 5.28 in the next update of the AMC
 ports. I have to make some tests before.
