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.
