I am both a heavy MacOS user and Linux user.

I consider MacOS more "unix-like' than Linux because (1) the Darwin core and (2) UNIX certification.

The fact of the matter is that UNIX and unix developers are responsible for the success of both MacOS and Linux and it is pointless to debate.

In my view, if unix had not of been tied up in years of litigation based on commercial (profit motivated) licenses and copyrights and unix had gone the same route as Linux, unix would be the dominate force in computing today.

Yes, MacOS is based on Unix, pure and simple.

Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3pm)			 Perl Programmers Reference Guide		       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. AUTHOR
