[snip] Hi, Bruce. I remember the LWP question well... I've always formatted my OS X drives case-insensitive & never had a problem 'til about a week ago when I tried to install Mojolicious which failed because the installer was looking for `Users` & found `users`. Brought up the problem with the developer via a GitHub issue & he basically just said it was case issue & there was nothing he could do about it (it installed fine on both my Linux boxes). So at a strike rate of just one fail strictly on case sensistivity/insensitivity I think I'll stick with what I've got.
