A quick question for anyone up to it: does the installperl script in the
main perl distribution work at all on Mac OS. I have recently been
studying it for use in an ivp build procedure and noticed that it seems to
make use of File::Find and liberal use of '/' path separators hence my
suspicion is that it will not work at all on Mac OS. I've also uncovered
some problems in t/harness (er, :t:harness) that indicate problems (catdir
used for MANIFEST when catfile ought to have been, multiple * globbing
etc).
There's no rush to provide an answer - I was just curious, thanks.
Have fun at the conference an on vacation.
