Hi; I try not to run my scripts with elevated privilege.
But sometimes files, directories and filesystems need to be accessed via elevated privilege. So how to do this? If I'm logged in as an ordinary user and run a script (manually or under crontab), the "-d", "-f", "-r" type of file metadata queries are performed as me. What happens if I need to perform file metadata queries for files and/or directories that belong to root or somebody else where there is insufficient privilege to perform that function? I'd rather not have to use sudo to do this. What is a perl native method?
