Description
openbrowser uses p5-mac-carbon's Mac::InternetConfig module to read the name of the user's web browser. But p5-mac-carbon doesn't build on Snow Leopard and the software is not maintained upstream. Find a way for openbrowser to get the browser name without using Mac::Carbon.

Attached is a diff which makes openbrowser use p5-mac-propertylist instead. The only caveat is that it requires a newer version of Mac::PropertyList than the latest stable 1.31 that's available. There's a development version 1.31_01 available with which I tested my changes. I've asked the developer of Mac::PropertyList when a new stable version might be released.

The author tells me he has re-released 1.31_01 with a stable version number. It's not showing up on CPAN yet.
