Announcing VMS::Persona 1.0

This module provides an interface to the persona system services provided
in VMS 6.2 and higher. You can, if your process has the appropriate
privileges, assume the identity of another user on the system.

Unlike the DCL command SET UIC, you get more than a UIC change.
Privileges, rights, UIC, and username, amongst other things, are assumed
by the process, providing a security environment wquivalent to the account
who's persona is being assumed.

Currently whizzing around CPAN at
$CPAN/modules/by-authors/Dan_Sugalski/VMS_Persona-1_00.zip and available
at a fine mirror near you.
