On: Apple's libc shells out to Perl to implement wordexp

[dunham]

They appear to be using a "wordexp-helper" in Yosemite. I found this in /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib (and no references to perl).

    [ $# -gt 0 ] && export IFS="$1";/usr/lib/system/wordexp-helper

Source to wordexp-helper here: http://opensource.apple.com/source/system_cmds/system_cmds-6...

Also the source to the Yosemite implementation is available at: http://opensource.apple.com/source/Libc/Libc-1044.1.2/gen/Fr...
