Actually the Win32::Perms module works very well. It's probably more "supported" than the other security modules out there. As far as the generic permissions shown in an Explorer window goes, those don't really exist. All those fancy names are just made up of the basic elements of RWXA. It's gloss. Forget they exist. There are some good example scripts on roth.net on how to decode and display the permissions.

The reason the above will not work is because the mask id is the same for different combinations of the Standard NTFS permissions. i.e. Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read has the same results as just Read. > -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede males" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list Perl-Win32-Admin@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
