Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3)    User Contributed Perl Documentation   Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3)



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.

       Overriden 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.
