Do you mean that I modify File::Copy? That's a possibility but as I
answered in MacOSX::File::Copy vs. File::Coply, I believe File::Copy should
behave like /bin/cp (actually, copy() does cp -p because it copies mtime and
atime) while MacOSX::File::Copy behaves like /Developer/Tools/CpMac. No one
knows if someone wants to explicitly copy("._file", "elsewhere/._file")....
Other modules in question might BSD::stat, yet another module by me that
works like CORE::stat and File::stat combined with BSD-specific fields.
That one works perfectly fine on MacOSX as well (Not to mention FreeBSD and
NetBSD. I'm yet to test that on OpenBSD but I believe it works). Darwin is
surprisingly BSD maybe except for directory layouts.
