in thread (OT) Fixing OSX's biggest weakness as a dev platform

I swear I addressed that concern in my original post, which is why I discussed partitioning the bootdisk into a standard partition for the system and a non-standard case-sensitive partition.

And, for the record, Perl -does- care. It just doesn't force you to worry about it if all developers don't use case-sensitivity in their package names. But, that's an open hole. For example, the current plan of adding a 'x' (in lowercase) for extensions. DBIx, CGIx, etc. What happens if you have a company called CGIX and your module namespace is CGIX:: ?


My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

      You're SOL. *shrugs* In practice, that happens rarely. The CGIx/CGIX one, I've run into.
