Best practice to allow 3rd party app to read messages file.
What is the best practice to allow a 3rd party health monitoring app to read the messages file. Since messages is a system file and is owned by root the app cannot read the file. I don't want to run the app as root so how should I allow the app to read the file. The read function is actually built into the apps binary so its not using /bin/view or /bin/more to read messages which I believe stops me from being able to add the permissions in the sudoers file.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

plack::handler::cgi
Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm)
NAME
Plack::Handler::CGI - CGI handler for Plack
SYNOPSIS
Want to run PSGI application as a CGI script? Rename .psgi to .cgi and change the shebang line like:
#!/usr/bin/env plackup
# rest of the file can be the same as other .psgi file
You can alternatively create a .cgi file that contains something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Plack::Loader;
my $app = Plack::Util::load_psgi("/path/to/app.psgi");
Plack::Loader->auto->run($app);
This will auto-recognize the CGI environment variable to load this class.
If you really want to explicitly load the CGI handler, you can. For instance you might do this when you want to embed a PSGI application
server built into CGI-compatible perl-based web server:
use Plack::Handler::CGI;
Plack::Handler::CGI->new->run($app);
DESCRIPTION
This is a handler module to run any PSGI application as a CGI script.
UTILITY METHODS
setup_env()
my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env();
my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env(\%override_env);
Sets up the PSGI environment hash for a CGI request from %ENV> and returns it. You can can provide a hashref of key/value pairs to
override the defaults if you would like.
