Well, after reading the threads and getting my box setup with ext3fs ACLs, I was able to run basic tests with: -e somefile and use filetest 'access'; -e somefile And as far as I can tell, it works the way I expected it to in every case. So I guess it would be safe to use filetest 'access' in ModPerl-Registry (at least on Linux), but I would worry about: 1. Other Uni*es and Win32 2. ACL support in APR/httpd 3. When was the filetest.pm module introduced in the Perl core ? But, I'd be for using this if it doesn't causes false negatives for anybody.
