NAME
       Module::Build::Platform::MacOS - Builder class for MacOS platforms

DESCRIPTION
       The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from "Mod-
       ule::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{install-
           sitearch} 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 dis-
           patch 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.
