I had this forwarded message, and this worked for me. I can use
psync on Tiger.

I have managed to install psync on Tiger. It seems that the
problem was the bug in testing code. Heh. All it was needed was
"force install MacOSX::File" in the cpan shell (sudo perl -MCPAN -
e shell) instead of normal "install MacOSX::File".
The bug is in the usage of /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo utility,
which now returns additional flag for busy (z), so instead of
expected "avbstcLinmed" it returns "avbstcLinmedz" when running on
Tiger, and this additional "z" breaks the test.

And indeed MacOSX::File was compiled on Tiger normally with the
following modifications. psync coming with DéjàVu was very slow and
I was suspecting some incompatibility with the HFS+ case sensitive
format. However the newly compiled psync runs much faster, just as
fast as psync in Panther.
