The following two tests in S16-filehandles/filestat.t currently fail on OS X​:

ok ($original1_accessed == $tmpfile1.IO.accessed), 'IO.accessed should
NOT be updated when file is opened for writing';

  ok ($original1_accessed == $tmpfile1.IO.accessed), 'IO.accessed
should NOT be updated when file is opened for reading';

Neither of these assertions hold true on the mac. Should we be
declaring (and testing) they are true on every OS?

ok \($original1\_accessed == $tmpfile1\.IO\.accessed\), 'IO\.accessed

These tests now get an unexpected TODO pass on my system :-(

FWIW, this is a property (noatime) of the file system on which the check is being done. There is no way we can assume this is always (not) set. So I think these tests are bogus. I would propose we remove them.

…And you did. Your plan works for me. Closing ticket.
