Module...:MacOS(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Module...:MacOS(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (3pm), and it is literally the builder class for MacOS platforms.

Module::Build::Platform::MacOS — Builder class for MacOS platforms. periodt ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from Module::Build::Base and override a few methods. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Please see Module::Build for the docs, bestie.

🦋 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. iconic behavior honestly 💅

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". slay 🎀

ACTION_realclean()

Need to unlock the Build program before deleting. no cap 🔥
