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

DESCRIPTION
    The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from "Module::Build::Base" and override a few
    methods. Please see Module::Build for the docs.

  Overridden Methods
    new()
        MacPerl doesn't define $Config{sitelib} or $Config{sitearch} for some reason, but
        $Config{installsitelib} and $Config{installsitearch} 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 dispatch 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.
