The -r, -w, -x, -o, -R, -W, -X, -O file test operators were ignoring set_user() entirely. Overload::FileCheck's -from-stat mode derived these from Perl's stat cache via `-r _`, which always uses the real process uid/gid rather than the mock user. Register custom mock_file_check handlers that compute access from the mock permission bits when set_user() is active. When no mock user is set, a new _check_perms_real() helper checks against the real process euid/egids so mocked files still report correct results.

What
File test operators (
-r,-w,-x,-o,-R,-W,-X,-O) now respectset_user()mock permissions.Why
These operators were silently ignoring
set_user(). They relied onOverload::FileCheck's-from-statmode, which populates Perl's_stat cache and then runs the real operator — checking the real process uid/gid, not the mock user. This meant-r $filealways returned the same result regardless of which mock user was active.How
Register custom
mock_file_checkhandlers for all 8 access-check operators. Whenset_user()is active, they compute the result from_check_perms()using the mock uid/gid. When no mock user is set, a new_check_perms_real()helper checks against the real process effective uid/gid so mocked files still return correct results.Testing
