I'm not even using a Mac. But I'm being adversely affected by perforce
running on a Mac:

nwc@faith perl$ ll t/op/glob.t
-r-xr-xr-x    1 nwc      users        2209 Jun  9  2006 t/op/glob.t
nwc@faith perl$ rm t/op/glob.t
rm: remove write-protected regular file `t/op/glob.t'? y
nwc@faith perl$ p4 sync -f t/op/glob.t
//depot/perl/t/op/glob.t#22 - refreshing /home/nwc/p4perl/perl/t/op/glob.t
nwc@faith perl$ ll t/op/glob.t
-r-xr-xr-x    1 nwc      users        2209 Jun  9  2006 t/op/glob.t

The bloody thing comes back with the wrong timestamp.
It seems to be four years out. This would be consistent with doing
calculations using an epoch of 1904, when the local timestamps are actually
using an epoch of 1900.

Grrr. Whatever. It caused me pain and wasted my time.
