ok, thank you for your help, I'll change the name of my
module... (asking apple to use real case-sensity would be too much)
The filesystem case-insensitivity is there for compatibility with pre-X
Mac OS. But just to be clear, it is the filesystem, not the
OS. If you were using, say, FAT32 on your Linux box, it would
have the same problem you're seeing on the Mac. More
realistically, you'd have exactly that problem under Cygwin on a
Windows system. Meanwhile, if your $PERL5LIB were located on a
UFS or NFS filesystem instead of an HFS+ one, you wouldn't have the
problem on the Mac, either.
You might want to give all your personal Perl modules a unique prefix
so they won't ever conflict with standard ones. For instance, you
could make a "Neko" subdirectory of $PERL5LIB and put them in there,
and then do e.g. "use Neko::config;" instead of just "use config".
Just a thought.
