He's saying that the CPAN-testers website should say "Mac OS X" instead 
of "Darwin", and ...

It would obviously be silly to change the value of $^O for OS X at this 
stage, but we (well, p5p) should probably delete the entry in that list 
for Darwin (with a capital D) as it is potentially confusing. Open 
Darwin barely existed and has been dead for over a decade. I doubt that 
there is a single person actually using any vaguely recent perl on it.
