Gisle, but I don't see what he's going to do about this. I've been
using HEAD on Unix for a long time, and I'll bet a lot of people
have. I'm sure a name change would be a PITA at this point. Apple's
at fault. I assume there's no actual reason that HFS+ *must* be case
insensitive, and certainly no actual reason that *Darwin* is case
insensitive. Having Classic case fold is one thing, but making a
Unix do it causes problems just like this.
Personally, the next time I install perl, I'm going to hack
hints/darwin.sh so that it no longer winds up in /System/Library and
friends, but goes in /usr/local/{lib,bin} (on my UFS partition) where
it belongs.
