raw_pty of Expect.pm / IO::Pty not working properly on OSX?

szabgab has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was just testing one of my code examples for Expect.pm that works on Linux (perl 5.18.1 and 5.20.0) but apparently does not work on OSX (5.20.0) . I wrote a test case and added it to https://github.com/szabgab/expect.pm/blob/master/t/02-bc.t.

Any idea why this does not work on OSX? Am I doing it wrong or is this a bug in IO::Pty? Could anyone with OSX test this?
