Hi We have some SSL related tests that has to run as a specific user,group because of the certificate. Would be nice if that feature could be included in the constructor. aka: my $parser = TAP::Parser->new( { source => $file, user => $user, group => $group } ); Thanks -- Morten Bjoernsvik, Experian Decision Analytics AS, Oslo, Norway

Why does this need to be done inside TAP::Parser? Just do it yourself. { local $> = $user_id; local $) = $group_id; my $parser = TAP::Parser->new({ source => $file }); } This assumes the process is run by a superuser, but otherwise how would TAP::Parser run as a different user? -- 151.

Thanks Michael If this works it is great, I'll run the test script as root and add the logic for testing, then report back. Nice if this could be added to the perldoc, for us dummies. Thanks again for fast response. -- MortenB

I guess that covers it :)
