The default filesystem is case-insensitive. Yeah, unlike all boxes in the Unix world.
It's actually slightly worse than that... I don't recall the circumstances in which it's bitten me, but OSX's default filesystem is sometimes case-sensitive and sometimes (most of the time) not. I have no idea what the guys at Apple were thinking when they allowed that to happen.
That single issue aside, though, I'm currently on my second PowerBook and have found it to be a wonderful platform, both for Perl development and for doing unixy things in general.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
