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 the Module::Build manpage 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.
