in thread MAC Perl EXTERN.H Make Issues

…OSX system Perl more restrictive than most in that even as root you are unable to write to /usr/bin and similar trees…

moo@cow[93]/usr/bin>sudo touch monkey
Password: 🔑
touch: monkey: Operation not permitted

That’s very interesting… I don’t recall bumping up against that in the past. Nice call out.

      ++ And that's why I hadn't seen it.

Still, I think I like it. I appreciate Apple taking some of this stuff and general customer security seriously.
