Yes, with "umask" you can change the default file mode with which new files are created. If the only thing you need is to have write access to the file from both users then set the umask so that files are created with "rw-rw----". Have a look at the umask man page for details on how to do so.

I hope this helps.

At last some moderative remarks:

1. If you need write access from two users then say so. You asked about changing the ownership of a file but now it seems to turn out you only need write access. Ask about what you want to achieve, not about what you think is necessary to achieve.

2. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't send me notification-messages every time you write a post. As a moderator i do read every single thread here and i log on here on 9 out of 10 days at least once, on most days several times a day. Rest assured i will notice what you have written.

::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::GeneriUsermContributed Perl DocumeCGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic(3pm) NAME
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic - Generic Authentication driver VERSION
This document describes CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic version 0.20 SYNOPSIS
use base qw(CGI::Application); use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication; __PACKAGE__->authen->config( DRIVER => [ 'Generic', { user1 => '123', user2 => '123' } ], ); DESCRIPTION
This Driver offers a simple way to provide a user database to the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication plugin. It offers three ways to provide a list of users to the plugin by providing a hash of username/password pairs, an array of arrays containing the username and password pairs, or a code reference that returns back the username, or undef on success or failure. EXAMPLE
my %users = ( user1 => '123', user2 => '123', ); __PACKAGE__->authen->config( DRIVER => [ 'Generic', \%users ], ); - or - my @users = ( ['example.com', 'user1', '123'], ['example.com', 'user2', '123'], ['foobar.com', 'user1', '123'], ); __PACKAGE__->authen->config( DRIVER => [ 'Generic', @users ], CREDENTIALS => [ 'authen_domain', 'authen_username', 'authen_password' ] ); - or - sub check_password { my @credentials = @_; if ($credentials[0] eq 'test' && $credentials[1] eq 'secret') { return 'testuser'; } return; } __PACKAGE__->authen->config( DRIVER => [ 'Generic', &check_password ], ); METHODS
verify_credentials This method will test the provided credentials against either the hash ref, array ref or code ref that the driver was configured with. SEE ALSO
