UNIX on MacOS X
I am interested in knowing if anyone out there has been using the BSD UNIX that underlies
MacOS X. Is this an "industrial strength" version of UNIX? Can I run X-Windows on such
a machine? How about TeXing, pythoning, PERLing or using other useful UNIX goodies
near and dear to my shrunken heart? I would be interested in your insights out there,
teeming millions!!

why,just beacuse that its the bottom layer uses a small amount of bsd code? In my opinion, macos and Unix are completely different. The directories are long directory structures.

module::build::platform::macos
Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3pm)
NAME
Module::Build::Platform::MacOS - Builder class for MacOS platforms
DESCRIPTION
The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from "Module::Build::Base" and override a few methods. Please see Module::Build for the
docs.
Overridden Methods
new()
MacPerl doesn't define $Config{sitelib} or $Config{sitearch} for some reason, but $Config{installsitelib} and $Config{installsitearch}
are there. So we copy the install variables to the other location
make_executable()
On MacOS we set the file type and creator to MacPerl so it will run with a double-click.
dispatch()
Because there's no easy way to say "./Build test" on MacOS, if dispatch is called with no arguments and no @ARGV a dialog box will pop
up asking what action to take and any extra arguments.
Default action is "test".
ACTION_realclean()
Need to unlock the Build program before deleting.
